It blood cells cling together to form a clump.

It leads to the clot formation.

The clot can travel through the blood stream and reach brain.

It can block the blood vessels.

It can lead to stroke in the brain.

The anticoagulants break down the clump/clot formation.

These dissolve the clumps caused due to blood pooling.

The commonly used anticoagulants in atrial fibrillation- 

Direct oral anticoagulants – 

These work by blocking the clotting proteins.
