This calculator helps determine the stroke risk for patients with atrial fibrillation. It is intended for healthcare professionals to guide treatment decisions.
The calculations are based on the CHA2DS2-VASc scoring system, as outlined in the 2010 European Society of Cardiology guidelines. View source. All calculations are based rigorously on the formulas and data provided by this source.
Consider a 72-year-old patient with a history of hypertension and diabetes. Their CHA2DS2-VASc score is calculated as follows: Age (2) + Hypertension (1) + Diabetes (1) = 4.
The CHA2DS2-VASc score is a clinical prediction rule for estimating the risk of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation.
Input the relevant clinical data into the calculator to determine the stroke risk score.
A higher score indicates a greater risk of stroke, which may require medical intervention.
