Abstract
1 min read
Among patients undergoing coronary angiography, the CHA<sub>2</sub> DS<sub>2</sub> -VASc score predicted a future diagnosis of atrial fibrillation and the composite risk of ischaemic stroke, transient ischaemic attack or systemic embolism in patients without atrial fibrillation. A CHA<sub>2</sub> DS<sub>2</sub> -VASc score of 3 was associated with a risk that would justify prophylactic oral anticoagulation treatment in a patient with atrial fibrillation.
