Direct oral anticoagulants (Rivaroxaban, Apixaban and Dabigatran) are an alternative to anti-vitamin K drugs and low molecular weight heparins in many cardiovascular diseases. This new class of anticoagulants represents a particular and very promising advance: they are administered orally, their mechanism of action is rapid and direct on coagulation and their predictable pharmacological action allows for administration at fixed doses. In contrast to anti-vitamin K, there is no need for routine biological monitoring. However, their therapeutic range is narrow and there is no routine biological monitoring. Rigorous compliance is therefore necessary. In addition, there are no official validated recommendations either for the measurement of anticoagulant activity in certain emergency situations, or for the management of severe bleeding (except recently for Pradaxa®). Their correct use requires the training and involvement of health professionals as well as information and support for patients. Pharmaceutical interviews are one of the main ways in which pharmacists can ensure this security through personalized and optimal patient care. The purpose of these interviews is to: * Reinforce the pharmacist's advisory, educational and preventive roles with patients; * To enhance the pharmacist's expertise in the area of medication; * To evaluate the patient's knowledge of his or her treatment; * To assess the patient's knowledge of his or her treatment; To seek the patient's therapeutic adherence and help him or her to take ownership of his or her treatment; * To evaluate, in the long term, the patient's appropriation of his or her treatment. In this way, they enable involvement with patients while providing a link between healthcare professionals, which is essential for optimal patient care. In recent years, numerous studies have been conducted on pharmaceutical interviews in the United Kingdom and the Netherlands. On the other hand, few studies have been conducted in France to evaluate the clinical impact of pharmaceutical interviewing in medical services. The aim of this study is to compare patients' knowledge of direct oral anticoagulants between 2 cardiology departments offering or not a pharmaceutical interview.
