INCREMENTAL VALUE OF ESTIMATED GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE IN IMPROVING STROKE RISK STRATIFICATION IN PATIENTS WITH AND WITHOUT ATRIAL FIBRILLATION CONSIDERED TO BE LOW RISK BY CHA2DS2VASC SCORE

INCREMENTAL VALUE OF ESTIMATED GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE IN IMPROVING STROKE RISK STRATIFICATION IN PATIENTS WITH AND WITHOUT ATRIAL FIBRILLATION CONSIDERED TO BE LOW RISK BY CHA2DS2VASC SCORE

Background: CHA2DS2VASc scoring system is a useful clinical tool to characterize stroke risk in patients with and without atrial Fibrillation (AF), yet thromboembolic complications occur in patients deemed low risk for stroke (0-1 score for AF and 0-3 score for non-AF patients).
