CHA2DS2-VASc Score Calculator

CHA2DS2-VASc Score (for Atrial Fibrillation Stroke Risk)

Disclaimer: Diagnosis is usually made clinically. If the score from the calculator indicates that you might be at risk please consider visiting a doctor for further evaluation. To find the risk you might be see the section “Scoring evaluation”. If you are in an intermediate or high-risk category considered to visit the doctor.

Note: “Negative” is “No” and “Positive” is “Yes”.

Calculate CI

The most common kind of cardiac arrhythmia that is treated is atrial fibrillation, which is an irregular and sometimes extremely fast heart rhythm (abbreviated as AFib or AF). When the heart beats abnormally, too quickly, or both, it is said to have an arrhythmia. The regular cycle of electrical impulses in your heart is disrupted if you have atrial fibrillation. This causes a rapid, erratic heartbeat and insufficient blood flow from your upper chambers (atria) to your lower chambers (ventricles). The condition raises the risk of heart attack, heart failure, and other issues that involve the heart.

Important note: Strokes associated with AF are linked to increased mortality, more severe impairment, longer hospital stays, and a decreased likelihood of being sent home after a stroke.

A popular and life-threatening cardiac arrhythmia linked to thromboembolic stroke is atrial fibrillation (AF), and the CHA2DS2-VASc score is a clinical prediction of the standards to evaluate the risk of stroke in persons with AF. This score is used to decide if anticoagulant therapy or antiplatelet therapy is necessary for treatment. We have provided you with a CHA2DS2-VASc Score calculator for Atrial Fibrillation Stroke Risk. The CHA2DS2-VASc score is a common medical tool for advising doctors on blood-thinning therapy to avoid stroke in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF).

Components of CHA2DS2-VASc Score (scoring system):

· Congestive heart failure adds (1 point)

· Hypertension or high blood pressure (1 point)

· Age greater than or equal to 75 years (2 points)

· Diabetes mellitus or type 2 diabetes(1 point)

· Stroke or TIA (2 points )

· Vascular disease (1 point)

· Age between 65 – 74 years (1 point)

· Female (1 point)

Scoring evaluation

Low-Risk Category: Categorized as low risk (score of 0).

Intermediate-Risk Category: Patients with a score of 1 are considered at intermediate risk.

High-Risk Category: High-risk patients (score of 2 or more)
