More Information
To the Editor: The article by Ezekowitz et al. on warfarin in the prevention of stroke associated with nonrheumatic atrial fibrillation (Nov. 12 issue)1 is another example of discrimination against women in health issues. Only men were enrolled in this study, yet women do have atrial fibrillation. Although most veterans are men, there are female veterans (I am one), and therefore the Department of Veterans Affairs should not be funding sex-discriminatory research. I am surprised that the female authors were not more conscious of these issues.
