Stroke Risk as a Function of Atrial Fibrillation Duration and CHA 2 DS 2 -VASc Score

Structured PICO

Does the interaction between AF duration and CHA2DS2-VASc score risk-stratify patients with AF for stroke and systemic embolism?

Population

Patients with atrial fibrillation (AF)

Outcome

Stroke and systemic embolism (SSE)hard clinical

The interaction between AF duration and CHA2DS2-VASc score can further risk-stratify patients with AF for stroke and systemic embolism, potentially guiding anticoagulation therapy.

Abstract

There is an interaction between AF duration and CHA2DS2-VASc score that can further risk-stratify patients with AF for SSE and may be useful in guiding anticoagulation therapy.
