The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Some occur naturally in blood-eating animals, such as leeches and mosquitoes, which help keep the bite area unclotted long enough for the animal to obtain blood.
- As a class of medications, anticoagulants are used in therapy for thrombotic disorders.
- Oral anticoagulants are taken by many people in pill or tablet form, and various intravenous anticoagulant dosage forms are used in hospitals.

ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 83 and blocks with 70: each hit it takes is cut by 28 %.
