Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a major risk factor for ischemic stroke and associated with a 5-fold
higher risk of stroke. In this retrospective cohort study, the incidence of and risk factors for …

Background The ABC (age, biomarkers, and clinical history)-stroke and ABC-bleeding are
biomarker-based scores proposed to predict stroke and bleeding, but non-specificity of …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia. Individuals with AF have a 5-
fold increased risk of stroke, 3-fold increased risk of heart failure, and almost 2-fold …

Thromboembolism is the most serious complication of AF, and oral anticoagulation is the
mainstay therapy. Current guidelines place all AF types together in terms of anticoagulation …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is accompanied by substantial morbidity 1 and is increasing in both
incidence and prevalence. 2, 3 Stroke is the chief hazard from AF, and is five times more …

Aim To assess the risk of stroke and thromboembolism in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF)
based on risk factor combinations of the CHA2DS2-VASc score. Methods and results Using …

Background: The novel ABC (Age, Biomarkers, Clinical History) scores outperform
traditional risk scores for stroke, major bleeding, and death in patients with atrial fibrillation …

Assessment of atrial fibrillation (AF)-associated stroke risk is at present mainly based on
clinical risk scores such as CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc, although these scores provide …

Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with an increased risk of thromboembolism,
which can be significantly reduced with anticoagulant treatment. Key goals in the clinical …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia worldwide, and it has a significant effect
on morbidity and mortality. It is a significant risk factor for stroke and peripheral embolization …
