INTERVENTIONAL

Intervention Type : DRUG
Intervention Description : Each participant, randomly allocated to the rivaroxaban arm, will receive one 2.5 mg tablet of rivaroxaban orally (by mouth) twice daily (once in the morning and once in the evening at approximately the same time each day) until the global treatment end date (GTED) (defined as the date when 1200 primary efficacy outcome events have occurred). Rivaroxaban will be given with standard of care for heart failure and coronary artery disease (as prescribed by the participant's managing physician).

Intervention Arm Group : Rivaroxaban 2.5 mg;

Intervention Type : DRUG
Intervention Description : Each participant, randomly allocated to the placebo arm, will receive one matching placebo tablet orally twice daily (once in the morning and once in the evening at approximately the same time each day) until the GTED. Placebo will be given with standard of care for heart failure and coronary artery disease (as prescribed by the participant's managing physician).

Intervention Arm Group : Placebo;

Intervention Type : OTHER
Intervention Description : Each participant's standard of care for heart failure and coronary artery disease (as prescribed by the participant's managing physician) should be continued throughout the study.

Intervention Arm Group : Placebo;Rivaroxaban 2.5 mg;
