ABSTRACT
We report a case of atrial fibrillation with rheumatic heart disease (RHD) who had intracardiac thrombus and cardiogenic cerebral embolism with rivaroxaban therapy. Intracardiac thrombus disappeared after switching from rivaroxaban to warfarin. Patients of RHD have the possibility of gradual progression of valvular disease even if they are old, so we need to distinguish nonvalvular atrial fibrillation from RHD before starting direct oral anticoagulants.
