CHADS(2) and CHA(2)DS(2)VASc scores as predictors of cardioembolic sources in secondary stroke prevention.
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Cardioembolism is one of the most common causes of ischemic stroke, with an estimated prevalence of 20-30%, and correct diagnosis is essential given the therapeutic implications. Although stroke risk scores (CHADS2 and more recently CHA2DS2-VASc) have been validated in heterogeneous populations of patients with atrial fibrillation, their accuracy has not been ascerta...
متن کاملLong‐Term Stroke Risk Prediction in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation: Comparison of the ABC‐Stroke and CHA 2 DS 2‐VASc Scores
BACKGROUND The ABC-stroke score (age, biomarkers [N-terminal fragment B-type natriuretic peptide, high-sensitivity troponin], and clinical history [prior stroke/transient ischemic attack]) was proposed to predict stroke in atrial fibrillation (AF). This score was derived/validated in 2 clinical trial cohorts in which patients with AF were highly selected and carefully followed-up. However, the ...
متن کاملValidation of risk stratification schemes for predicting stroke and thromboembolism in patients with atrial fibrillation: nationwide cohort study
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the individual risk factors composing the CHADS(2) (Congestive heart failure, Hypertension, Age ≥ 75 years, Diabetes, previous Stroke) score and the CHA(2)DS(2)-VASc (CHA(2)DS(2)-Vascular disease, Age 65-74 years, Sex category) score and to calculate the capability of the schemes to predict thromboembolism. DESIGN Registry based cohort study. SETTING Nationwide data o...
متن کاملRoles of the CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc scores in post-myocardial infarction patients: Risk of new occurrence of atrial fibrillation and ischemic stroke.
BACKGROUND Patients with myocardial infarction (MI) are at risk of the development of atrial fibrillation (AF) and ischemic stroke. We sought to evaluate the prognostic performance of the CHADS₂ and CHA₂DS₂-VASc scores in predicting new AF and/or ischemic stroke in post-ST segment elevation MI (STEMI) patients. Six hundred and seven consecutive post-STEMI patients with no previously documented ...
متن کاملUse of the CHA(2)DS(2)-VASc and HAS-BLED scores to aid decision making for thromboprophylaxis in nonvalvular atrial fibrillation.
A 65-year-old woman with a history of myocardial infarction presented to the emergency department with palpitations. ECG on admission documented atrial fibrillation (AF), which subsequently reverted spontaneously to sinus rhythm. Echocardiogram revealed mild systolic impairment, normal left atrial size, and normal valves. Thyroid function tests were normal. She returned to the outpatient clinic...
