Refining Thromboembolic Risk in the General Population

The most widely adapted algorithm to estimate stroke risk is the easily applicable congestive heart failure, hypertension, age >75, diabetes mellitus, prior stroke, vascular disease, age 65 to 74, and sex (CHA2DS2-VASc) score. [...]we aimed to accommodate AF as a separate component to the commonl...

Zusammenfassung:The most widely adapted algorithm to estimate stroke risk is the easily applicable congestive heart failure, hypertension, age >75, diabetes mellitus, prior stroke, vascular disease, age 65 to 74, and sex (CHA2DS2-VASc) score. [...]we aimed to accommodate AF as a separate component to the commonly used and recommended CHA2DS2-VASc score, thereby extending its applicability to the general population. In participants without AF, a similar event rate was observed with a CHA2DS2-VASc score of 4 (event...
