Atrial Fibrillation
Conditions
Brief summary
From January 2023 to December 2025, 300 elderly patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation in Drum Tower Hospital Affiliated to Medical Scholl of Nanjing University will be enrolled to compare the efficacy and safety of rivaroxaban-H, rivaroxaban-M and rivaroxaban-L dose in elderly patients after 24-month follow-up.
Detailed description
To explore the appropriate dose of rivaroxaban to prevent stroke in elderly Chinese patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation in order to improve the effectiveness and safety of anticoagulation therapy. From January 2023 to December 2025, 300 elderly patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation in Drum Tower Hospital Affiliated to Medical Scholl of Nanjing University will be enrolled to compare the efficacy and safety of rivaroxaban-H, rivaroxaban-M and rivaroxaban-L dose in elderly patients after 24-month follow-up. The efficacy indexes include stroke, non-CNS systemic embolism, fatal stroke, transient ischemic attack and myocardial infarction, and the safety indexes include major bleeding, non-major clinically relevant bleeding, minor bleeding events.
