Comparison
Presence of coronary tortuosity vs absence regarding CHA2DS2-VASc score and AF
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Should not yet change AF monitoring based on coronary tortuosity; leaves open independent AF prediction by LAD SCT beyond CHA2DS2-VASc.
Objectives: Coronary tortuosity (CT) is a common coronary angiography result and the clinical significance of CT is not clearly understood. In this study, the relationship between the presence of CT with CHA 2 DS 2 -VASc score and atrial fibrillation (AF) was analyzed.
