Description
Summary:The mean CHADS2 score of those 30 was 2.5, and 6 had a previous stroke. [...]the total prevalence in the screened population was 14.3%, and 5.2% were diagnosed for the first time--importantly, only 403 received monitoring with the handheld device. [...]while the CHADS2 score (1 point each for congestive heart failure [HF], hypertension, age >=75 years, diabetes, and 2 points for a history of stroke or transient ischemic attack) (4) does not consider the sex of the patient, the CHA2DS2-VASc score (5,6), a system developed as a compliment to CHADS2 primarily in risk-stratifying the lower CHADS2 patients, does (including a similar scoring scheme as CHADS2 with the exception of 1 point for ages 65 to 75 years, 2 points for age >=75 years, 1 point for vascular disease, and 1 point for female sex).
