The CHA2DS2-VASc (congestive heart failure, hypertension, age ≥ 75 years, diabetes mellitus, stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA), vascular disease, age 65 to 74 years, sex category) score is a validated tool to predict the risk of stroke and systemic emboli in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation.
What is Chadsvasc used for?
The CHADS2 score and its updated version, the CHA2DS2-VASc score, are clinical prediction rules for estimating the risk of stroke in people with non-rheumatic atrial fibrillation (AF), a common and serious heart arrhythmia associated with thromboembolic stroke.
What does the Chadsvasc score tell you?
The higher your CHADSVASC score, the more statistically likely you are to have a stroke. The purpose of this score is for your cardiologist to determine your specific risk factors and make recommendations for lowering your risk.
