May aid thromboembolic risk stratification in HF patients in sinus rhythm; leaves open whether anticoagulation improves outcomes.
Does the CHA2DS2-VASc score predict thromboembolic complications in patients hospitalized with heart failure in sinus rhythm?
The CHA2DS2-VASc score can effectively stratify the risk of future thromboembolic events in heart failure patients in sinus rhythm, identifying those at high risk who might benefit from anticoagulation.
