The CHA2DS2-VASc Score as a Predictor of Left Atrial Thrombus in Patients with Non-Valvular Atrial Fibrillation
OBJECTIVE To investigate whether or not the CHA2DS2-VASc score predicts left atrial (LA) thrombus detected on pre-cardioversion transoesophageal echocardiography (TEE). MATERIALS AND METHODS The medical records of patients who had undergone TEE were reviewed to assess the presence of LA thrombus prior to direct-current cardioversion for atrial fibrillation (AF). The CHA2DS2-VASc score was cal...
متن کاملIs CHA2DS2-VASc Score Different in Patients with Non-valvular Atrial Fibrillation Suffering from Cerebral and Non-cerebral Thromboembolism?CHA2DS2-VASc Score in Thromboembolism.
Background Thromboembolic complication is directly related to CHA2DS2-VASc score in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF). In this study we compared the CHA2DS2-VASc score and in-hospital mortality between NVAF patients with non-cerebral thromboembolism and those with stroke. Methods We retrospectively reviewed medical records of 213 patients with NVAF who experienced stroke a...
متن کاملCardiovascular risk stratification in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation: the 2MACE score.
Recent findings suggest that patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF), in addition to having a high risk for ischemic stroke, are also at risk for myocardial infarction (MI). The aim of the study was to combine factors predicting Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events (MACE) in AF patients, including fatal/nonfatal MI, cardiac revascularization, and cardiovascular death, into a simple r...

Objective: To evaluate the relationship between CHA2DS2-VASc score and inflammation and coagulation markers in patients admitted to Emergency Department (ED) with non-valvular Atrial
متن کاملWarfarin in non-valvular atrial fibrillation.
The development of novel oral anticoagulants that are effective alternatives to warfarin in non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF) is a welcome advance. However, a variety of unresolved problems with their use, and not least with their cost, make it important to re-evaluate the use of warfarin as it will likely remain the anticoagulant of choice in South African patients with non-valvular AF for...
