Which score should be used for risk stratification of ischemic stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation.
is the most important for managing AF. The ACCF/AHA guidelines in the USA,3 the CCS guidelines in Canada,4 and the JCS guidelines in Japan5 recommend using the conventional stroke risk stratification scheme, the CHADS2 (congestive heart failure, hypertension, age >75 years, diabetes mellitus, and stroke [double]) score, for antithrombotic therapy in patients with nonvalvular AF.6 On the other h...
متن کاملCan patients with atrial fibrillation be optimally risk stratified for stroke and thromboembolism?
Can Patients With Atrial Fibrillation Be Optimally Risk Stratified for Stroke and Thromboembolism? To the Editor: Atrial fibrillation (AF) has repeatedly been shown to be associated with a substantial risk of stroke, but this risk is not consistent across all populations. Identifying patients at greatest risk of this (sometimes disastrous) complication is problematic. Therefore, the development...
متن کاملCan self-rated health scores be used for risk prediction in patients with type 2 diabetes?
OBJECTIVE To investigate whether self-rated health profiles compiled using the EuroQol group's visual analog scale (EQ VAS) are independent predictors of vascular events and major complications in people with type 2 diabetes after controlling for standard clinical risk factors. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS The study is based on 7,348 individuals with a mean follow-up of 2.4 years after complet...

MECHANISM OF ACTION • Irreversibly inhibits COX-1 enzymes, which in turn decreases production of thromboxane A2 and inhibits platelet aggregation1,13 • Inhibits ADP-mediated platelet activation and aggregation by binding irreversibly to the P2Y12 receptor on platelets2 • Must be metabolized by CYP450 enzymes to produce an active metabolite that inhibits platelets2 • Inhibits the synthesis of vi...
متن کاملPredicting stroke risk in patients with atrial fibrillation.
See related article, pages 2459–2463. Predicting which patients with atrial fibrillation will have a stroke or systemic embolic event is not an easy task. In this issue of Stroke, Lawrence Baruch and colleagues retrospectively compared 7 risk stratification schemes in a large clinical trial–based program of patients with atrial fibrillation (the Stroke Prevention using an ORal Thrombin Inhibito...
