The COMMANDER-HF trial studied the effect of administering a low dose of rivaroxaban of 2.5 mg twice daily in patients with
heart failure who had a sinus rhythm. The study showed that administration of rivaroxaban did not affect the primary composite
endpoint (death from any cause, myocardial infarction, or stroke) compared to placebo. Additionally, no higher rate of major
bleeding was observed. A post-hoc analysis showed a significantly lower incidence of ischaemic stroke with rivaroxaban.
