D‐dimer is a marker of fibrin degradation that reflects intravascular coagulation. Therefore, plasma concentrations of D‐dimer might predict thromboembolic risk and rivaroxaban treatment effect. The aims of this study were to investigate the association between D‐dimer levels and the risk of stroke and other thrombotic, bleeding and fatal events, and whether D‐dimer concentrations could predict rivaroxaban 2.5 mg twice daily (vs. placebo) effect in patients enrolled in the COMMANDER‐HF trial who were in sinus rhythm, had heart failure with reduced ejection fraction and coronary artery disease.
