Objectives To determine the accuracy of CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc tools for predicting
ischaemic stroke or transient ischaemic attack (TIA) and death in patients without a history of …

Abstract Purpose of Review Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a major risk factor for systemic embolism
and ischaemic stroke. Furthermore, AF-related strokes are associated with higher mortality …

It remains unclear if the CHADS2 score or CHA2DS2-VASc score is more useful for the risk
stratification of ischemic stroke/systemic thromboembolism in Japanese patients with non …

Background and Purpose—As the threshold of stroke risk for initiating oral anticoagulants is
lowered after the introduction of the nonvitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants, the focus of …

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 …

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: The risk of stroke in atrial fibrillation is heterogeneous
and depends upon underlying clinical conditions included in current risk stratification …

The association of atrial fibrillation and resultant thromboembolic stroke is readily
recognized in the published literature. However, the identification and weight of other risk …

Background and Purpose—The risk of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) is not
homogeneous, and various clinical risk factors have informed the development of stroke risk …

Aims Multiple risk scores to predict ischaemic stroke (IS) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF)
have been developed. This study aims to systematically review these scores, their …

Background and Purpose—Several accepted algorithms exist to characterize the risk of
thromboembolism in atrial fibrillation. We performed a comparative analysis to assess the …
