Brief Summary

This non-interventional field study will investigate rivaroxaban under clinical practice conditions for stroke prevention and for prevention of non-CNS systemic embolism in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation in China.

Detailed Description

3000 patients will be provided with free drug.It is planned to have an interim analysis(IA) when 3000 patients are enrolled (cut off day is the 3000th patient completed at least 3 months follow-up visit).
