Why the study?
Echocardiographic parameters of left atrial function and remodeling predict AF, but a risk prediction model easily applicable in clinical routine was needed.
Does the EAHsy-AF-Score predict the incidence of AF in patients with cardiovascular disease?

Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
The EAHsy-AF risk score, incorporating age, hypertension, and echocardiographic parameters, may enable more selective rhythm monitoring for AF in high-risk cardiovascular patients.
Background: Echocardiographic parameters representing impaired left atrial (LA) function and remodeling are of high value to predict atrial fibrillation (AF). This study aimed to develop a prediction model for AF easily to apply in clinical routine containing echocardiographic parameters associated with LA remodeling and-function. Methods and Results: -, ATLAS-, ARIC-, CHARGE-AF score). Conclusion: The EAHsy-AF-Score containing age, hypertension and echocardiographic parameters of atrial dysfunction and remodeling precisely predicts the incidence of AF in a general population of patients with cardiovascular disease. The EAHsy-AF risk score may enable more selective rhythm monitoring in specific patients at high risk for AF.
