Effectiveness of risk stratification according to CHADS2 score in Japanese patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation.
Cerebrovascular events increase with additional risk factors in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF). The relative risk proportional to the number of risk factors in Japanese patients has not been reported. The prevalence of risk factors was investigated for over 2 years in a prospective cohort study of 265 patients with NVAF. The CHADS2 score is a widely used risk stratificatio...
متن کاملNonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation and Stroke
Cardioembolism, responsible for approximately one-third of cerebral infarctions in Japan, causes serious cerebral infarction with poor prognosis. Nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) is the most important cause of cardioembolism. Both the occurrence of NVAF and the frequency of its progression to cerebral infarction increase with age. Timely introduction of warfarin depending on the presence ...
متن کاملIntensity of Left Atrial Spontaneous Echo Contrast as a Correlate for Stroke Risk Stratification in Patients with Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation
The intensity of left atrial spontaneous echo contrast (LASEC) by transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) has been proposed as an important variable in the stratification of thromboembolic risk, particularly in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF). We hypothesized that the quantification of LASEC by ultrasound will improve its utility in predicting subsequent stroke events in pat...
متن کاملFine tuning risk stratification for atrial fibrillation.
Most clinicians would like to be able to accurately estimate the risk of adverse outcomes, especially if this information could guide management or treatment decisions to lower the risk for an individual. In the case of atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common cardiac arrhythmia, more accurate prediction of its most feared and disabling complicationdstrokedremains a major focus (1,2). This iss...
متن کاملTowards Ideal Risk Stratification in Atrial Fibrillation
The aim of the original RSS was to identify AF patients at high risk of stroke and target these patients with warfarin. However, with the emergence of additional information on new risk factors and less well-validated risk factors, as well as the development of novel OACs and the accumulation of evidence against the use of aspirin as an effective antithrombotic agent in AF, there has been a ‘pa...
