Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Patients must meet all of the following conditions to be eligible for the study. 1]Diagnosis of nonvalvular atrial fibrillation [NVAF]. NVAF refers to atrial fibrillation without history of rheumatic mitral valve disease, prosthetic valve, or mitral valve repair. 2]Undergoing ablation therapy (radiofrequency ablation only) for the treatment of atrial fibrillation. 3]Receiving rivaroxaban for at least 3 weeks by the time of hospitalization for catheter ablation. 4]Age 20 years and older at providing consent. 5]Written informed consent must be obtained from the patient, unless the following condition does not apply. If, upon approval by the Ethics Review Committee, information on the study has been properly disclosed to the target patients through means such as poster presentations in the study site, obtaining written informed consent can be exempted so that the patient will be excluded from the study only when she/he declares refusal to enrollment in the study.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Patients will be excluded from the study if any of the following conditions apply. 1]Contraindication to ablation therapy for the treatment of atrial fibrillation [e.g., due to a preoperative transesophageal echocardiography, CT, or MRI finding of a thrombus in the left atrium/left atrial appendage]. 2]Development of thromboembolism or myocardial infarction within 2 months before enrollment. 3]Contraindication to Rivaroxaban. 4]For a study site that is allowed to omit the procedure of obtaining written informed consent, a patient who declares refusal to enrollment in the study will be excluded. 5]Current participation in another interventional clinical study. 6]The investigator's judgement that the patient will be inappropriate for participation in the study.
