  1. VHD indicates valvular heart diseases
  2. CHA2DS2-VASc score was calculated by congestive heart failure, hypertension, age ≥ 75 years (doubled), diabetes mellitus, prior stroke or TIA (doubled), vascular disease, age 65 to74 years and female sex
  3. BMI body mass index, SBP systolic blood pressure, AF atrial fibrillation, TIA transient ischemic attack, CADs coronary artery diseases, IQR interquartile range, eGFR stimated Glomerular filtration rate, ALT alanine aminotransferase, INR international normalized ratio, TiTR time in therapeutic range, ACEI angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, ARB angiotensin II receptor blocker, CCB calcium channel blocker
  4. aOnly patients treated with warfarin were included
