Abstract
To analyze the clinical profile and rates of stroke, major bleeding and intracranial hemorrhage of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) treated with rivaroxaban in clinical practice. Retrospective study of AF patients anticoagulated with rivaroxaban in a Healthcare Area of Valencia, Spain. Patients started treatment with rivaroxaban from July 2012 to December 2015. A total of 230 patients (mean age 76.9 ± 9.9 years; CHA2DS2-VASc 4.3 ± 1.7; HAS-BLED 1.7 ± 0.9) were included. Rates of stroke, major bleeding and intracranial bleeding were 0.4, 1.9 and 0.5 events per 100 patient-years, respectively. In this cohort of AF patients anticoagulated with rivaroxaban, despite patients being older and having a high thromboembolic risk, rates of stroke, major bleeding and intracranial bleeding were low.
