Abstract
Long-term (indefinitely long) use of oral anticoagulants is the most efficient method of medical prevention of cardioembolic complications of atrial fibrillation (AF). This approach is superior to the effectiveness of antiplatelet agents (as monotherapy by acetylsalicylic acid and its combination with clopidogrel). This summary will present the facts that determined ideas about the place of one of the oral anticoagulants of direct action – rivaroxaban – in the prevention of cardioembolic complications in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation. We are talking about a randomized, controlled study ROCKET AF, the results of which became the basis for the approval of rivaroxaban for widespread use in non-valcular atrial fibrillation.
