The study will focus on effectiveness and safety of rivaroxaban (Xarelto) when given together with acetylsalicylic acid (combination therapy) to patients suffering from coronary artery disease (a condition that affects the blood vessels supplying the heart) and / or peripheral artery disease (a condition that affects the blood vessels of the lower limbs) in the routine clinical practice. The study will help to collect data for prevention cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction (MI), stroke and major adverse limb events in adult patients. The study will focus on information on when and why physicians are starting to treat patients with combination therapy, treatment duration, reasons to discontinue treatment and previous therapies. The study will also investigate treatment outcomes for patients being treated with a combination therapy by their physicians.

Health status by questionnaire EQ-5D-5L
Self-reported health-related quality of life is measured with EQ-5D at the initial visit and at each follow-up visit. Items are scored from 1 (no problems) to 5 (extreme problems) leading to a total score from 0 (worst imaginable health) to 100 (best imaginable health).
