Association between R2CHA2DS2-VASc score and three-vessel coronary artery disease in a large population at high cardiovascular risk

Coronary artery disease (CAD), particularly three-vessel coronary disease (3VD), is the main cause of death in industrialized countries. Chronic kidney disease is an independent risk factor for CAD. The CHA 2 DS 2 -VASc score shows a good ability to predict CV events in high-risk population independently from atrial fibrillation. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the association between the R 2 CHA 2 DS 2 -VASc score and 3VD in a population of patients at high cardiovascular risk. Monocentric prospective study evaluated 1017 patients undergoing coronary angiography. The R 2 CHA 2 DS 2 -VASc score was obtained by adding 2 points to the CHA 2 DS 2 -VASc score in case of eGFR
