CHADS2 (congestive heart failure, hypertension, age ≥75 years, diabetes mellitus, previous stroke/TIA) score has been validated as a risk stratification score to predict stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). The objective of this analysis was to assess whether patient risk factors, in particular CHADS2 score, identified patients at risk of mortality.

Abstract

CHADS2 (congestive heart failure, hypertension, age ≥75 years, diabetes mellitus, previous stroke/TIA) score has been validated as a risk stratification score to predict stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). The objective of this analysis was to assess whether patient risk factors, in particular CHADS2 score, identified patients at risk of mortality.
