February 2, 2015 updated by: Pete Antonopoulos, John H. Stroger Hospital

Anticoagulation With Rivaroxaban in Post Cardioversion Patients

The purpose of this study is to determine that a new drug called "Rivaroxaban®" is effective in preventing patients from forming clots after their heart rhythm has been reset by the cardiologist with an electrical device.
