The CHA2DS2-VASc score is used to assess
stroke risk in patients with atrial fibrillation (and atrial flutter). The mnemonic takes account of
clinical risk factors for stroke (C, congestive
heart failure = 1 point; H, hypertension = 1
point; A2, age ≥75 years = 2 points; D,
diabetes mellitus = 1 point; S2, previous
stroke or transient ischaemic attack = 2 points;
V, vascular disease = 1 point; A, age 65–74
years = 1 point; Sc, sex category female = 1
point). In this case, the score is 5 points (2
points for age ≥75 years, 1 point each for
female gender, diabetes and hypertension).
This is associated with quite a high risk of
stroke (approximately 5% annual risk if
untreated) and this patient should be
considered for oral anticoagulation.
