Study summary

National, multicenter, prospective, observational, non-interventional study. The objective is to determine if the switch from Vitamin K antagonists (VKA) to Xarelto in subjects treated with VKA with issues for stroke prevention in non valvular atrial fibrillation is associated with an improvement of the treatment satisfaction after 3 months. The treatment satisfaction will be measured by the Anti Clot Treatment Scale (ACTS) score.

  3. Change of SF36 score at 1, 3 and 6 months (health related quality of life determined by SF36 questionnaire)

    Time frame: After 1, 3 and 6 months

  4. Physician's satisfaction at 1, 3 and 6 months assessed by a 5-point Likert scale response ("very satisfied", "satisfied", "neutral", "unsatisfied" or "very unsatisfied")
