HFpEF patients without AF may carry elevated thromboembolic risk via LA remodeling; leaves open prospective validation of CHA2DS2-VASc.
Does the CHA2DS2-VASc score predict prognosis and thromboembolic risk in patients with HFpEF?
The CHA2DS2-VASc score is a simple and useful tool for identifying HFpEF patients in sinus rhythm who are at high risk for stroke.
Mahfouz et al. (2023) conducted a review in Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF). CHA2DS2-VASc score was evaluated on Prognosis and thromboembolic risk. The CHA2DS2-VASc score is a simple tool that can speed up clinical evaluation and identify patients in sinus rhythm who are at high risk of stroke.
