Key result
In a pooled database of Japanese registries, the HELT-E2S2 score demonstrated a higher predictive ability for ischemic stroke (AUC 0.661) compared to the CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc scores.
Why the study?
How do HELT-E2S2 and CHA2DS2-VASc compare for assessing stroke risk in patients with atrial fibrillation in Japan?

Shinya Suzuki (2023) conducted an editorial in Atrial fibrillation. HELT-E2S2 score vs. CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc scores was evaluated on Ischemic stroke prediction (AUC). In a pooled database of Japanese registries, the HELT-E2S2 score demonstrated a higher predictive ability for ischemic stroke (AUC 0.661) compared to the CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc scores.
