Published in: European heart journal. Case reports (2020)
While hemopericardium is not listed as a known side effect of Rivaroxaban, previous cases of hemopericardium secondary to Rivaroxaban have been described in the literature secondary to pre-disposing risk factors including CYP450 drug interactions or cardiac device implantations. In this case, the patient experienced a spontaneous hemopericardium on Rivaroxaban without any previously elucidated risk factors or evidence of malignancy.
