Atrial fibrillation

Satisfaction/Quality of Life with Rivaroxaban in SPAF (stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation) indication

Trial purpose

National, multicenter, prospective, observational, non-interventional study. The objective is to determine if the switch from Vitamin K antagonists (VKA) to Xarelto in subjects treated with VKA with issues for stroke prevention in non valvular atrial fibrillation is associated with an improvement of the treatment satisfaction after 3 months. The treatment satisfaction will be measured by the Anti Clot Treatment Scale (ACTS) score.

Key Participants Requirements

Sex

Both

Age

18 - N/A
  • - Female and male subjects ≥ 18 years of age with a diagnosis of non-valvular atrial fibrillation
    - Who are treated with Vitamin K antagonists (VKA) with issues for at least the 4 previous weeks (issues are assessed on medical judgment)
