CHA₂DS₂-VASc Score for Atrial Fibrillation Stroke Risk
Clinical intent
CHA2DS2-VASc score (Birmingham 2009) was developed after identifying additional stroke risk factors in patients with atrial fibrillation.
The CHA2DS2-VASc score is one of several risk stratification schema that can help determine the 1 year risk of a TE event in a non-anticoagulated patient with non-valvular AF. The CHA2DS2-VASc score, among other risk stratification schema, can be used to provide an idea of a patient’s risk for TE event.
Calculation
The score is calculated by simply summing the points of all 7 items.
