The ABC (age, biomarkers, clinical history) stroke risk score: a biomarker-based risk score for predicting stroke in atrial fibrillation
AIMS Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with an increased risk of stroke, which is currently estimated by clinical characteristics. The cardiac biomarkers N-terminal fragment B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and cardiac troponin high-sensitivity (cTn-hs) are independently associated with risk of stroke in AF. Our objective was to develop and validate a new biomarker-based risk score t...
متن کاملThe CHADS2 score for stroke risk stratification in atrial fibrillation--friend or foe?
The risk of stroke in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) varies widely depending on patient age and the presence of other risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, congestive heart failure or prior stroke or transient ischaemic attack (TIA) (1, 2). Warfarin reduces the risk of stroke by about twothirds when compared to placebo or no treatment, and by about two-fif...
متن کاملA New Risk Scheme to Predict Ischemic Stroke and Other Thromboembolism in Atrial Fibrillation: The ATRIA Study Stroke Risk Score
BACKGROUND More accurate and reliable stroke risk prediction tools are needed to optimize anticoagulation decision making in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). We developed a new AF stroke prediction model using the original Anticoagulation and Risk Factors in Atrial Fibrillation (ATRIA) AF cohort and externally validated the score in a separate, contemporary, community-based inception AF ...
متن کاملPredicting risk of atrial fibrillation after heart valve surgery: evaluation of a Brazilian risk score.
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to evaluate the applicability of a Brazilian score for predicting atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients undergoing heart valve surgery in the Division of Cardiovascular Surgery of Pronto Socorro Cardiológico de Pernambuco - PROCAPE (Recife, PE, Brazil). METHODS Retrospective study involving 491 consecutive patients operated between May/2007 and December/2010....
متن کاملBedside Tool for Predicting the Risk of Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation After Cardiac Surgery: The POAF Score
BACKGROUND Atrial fibrillation (AF) remains the most common complication after cardiac surgery. The present study aim was to derive an effective bedside tool to predict postoperative AF and its related complications. METHODS AND RESULTS Data of 17 262 patients undergoing adult cardiac surgery were retrieved at 3 European university hospitals. A risk score for postoperative AF (POAF score) was...
