Summary: Patients with device detected atrial high-rate episodes (AHRE) are at increased risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). The R(2)CHA(2)DS(2)-VASc, CHADS(2), R(2)CHADS(2), and CHA(2)DS(2)-VASc score have been investigated for predicting MACE in different patient groups. This study evaluates the combination of R(2)CHA(2)DS(2)-VASc score and AHRE >= 6 min in predicting MACE in patients with dual-chamber pacemaker and no prior atrial fibrillation (AF). The results suggest that both the R(2)CHA(2)DS(2)-VASc score and AHRE >= 6 min are independent predictors of MACE in this patient population.

Summary: The association between higher CHA(2)DS(2)-VASc score and worse outcomes does not exist for patients undergoing left atrial appendage closure (LAAC), possibly due to the benefits provided by the intervention in these patients.

Summary: This study reveals that adults with congenital heart diseases (ACHDs) who have atrial fibrillation (AF) are at a higher risk of ischemic stroke. Even those with a low CHA(2)DS(2)-VASc score (0-1) have a high incidence of ischemic stroke.

Summary: The CHA(2)DS(2)-VASc score implementation in the 2010 European guidelines on AF was associated with increased utilization of oral anticoagulation and triple therapy among AF patients undergoing PCI. These changes were linked to a gradual decline in the risk of major adverse cardiac events, while the risk of hospitalized bleeding remained stable.

Summary: The performance of scoring systems for risk stratification in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) was not well validated in patients with stroke. Among stroke patients with AF, CHADS(2), CHA(2)DS(2)-VASc, ATRIA, and Essen stroke risk scores were not associated with recurrent ischemic stroke and any stroke, but were correlated with death and major adverse cerebrovascular and cardiovascular events (MACEs), particularly in the group treated with oral anticoagulants (OACs). A new risk stratification scheme specific to secondary stroke prevention in the AF population is needed.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the ability of chronic risk factors burden, as expressed by the CHA(2)DS(2)-VASc score, to predict arrhythmic and hemodynamic complications related to ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). The results showed that a CHA(2)DS(2)-VASc score > 2 points independently predicted new-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) and hemodynamic complications. These findings suggest that a combination of acute and chronic risk factors could provide additional benefit in identifying patients at risk of STEMI-related complications.

Summary: After adjusting for confounding factors, our cross-sectional study found no association between AF and ischemic stroke, with the increased risk of ischemic stroke related to AF being attenuated by atherosclerotic factors. Our study supports the current view that enhanced control of modifiable cardiovascular risk factors in patients with AF is essential.

Summary: Previous ischemic strokes are non-inferior in predicting future ischemic strokes in maintenance hemodialysis patients compared to the complete CHA(2)DS(2)-VASc score; CHA(2)DS(2)-VASc scores are less predictive in patients without a history of strokes/transient ischemic attacks; HAS-BLED scores do not predict major bleeding risk in maintenance hemodialysis patients.

Summary: The study revealed that among patients without a history of stroke, the risk of dementia was higher in patients with AF than in patients with AFL; the CHA(2)DS(2)-VASc score may be useful for stratifying the risk of dementia between patients with AF and AFL.

Summary: The CHA(2)DS(2)-VASc and R(2)CHA(2)DS(2)-VASc scores are useful predictors of all-cause mortality in high-risk cardiovascular patients, with the R(2)CHA(2)DS(2)-VASc score performing the best.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the risk factors associated with left atrial thrombus/left atrial spontaneous echo contrast and create a nomogram to predict the risk in NVAF patients with low/borderline CHA(2)DS(2)-VASc scores. Results identified age, left ventricular ejection fraction, left atrial diameter, smoking, non-paroxysmal AF, and E/e' as factors associated with the risk.

Summary: This study aims to explore the association between CHADS2-VASc and HAS-BLED scores and cerebral cardiovascular events in hemodialysis patients. The results show that in patients without atrial fibrillation, the CHA2DS2-VASc score is associated with stroke, and the HAS-BLED score is associated with hemorrhagic events. Both the CHA2DS2-VASc and HAS-BLED scores can be used as indicators of stroke and bleeding risk in hemodialysis patients.

Summary: This study evaluated the association between the CHA(2)DS(2)-VASc score and the risk of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and all-cause mortality in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (AF) treated with direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs). The results showed that for each 1-point increase in the CHA(2)DS(2)-VASc score, there was a 27% increased risk of AMI, as well as a significantly increased all-cause mortality rate.

Summary: In a cohort of AF patients treated with warfarin, both the CHA(2)DS(2)-VASc and GARFIELD-AF Stroke scores were associated with adjudicated TE events, with modest predictive capacity. The simpler CHA(2)DS(2)-VASc score improved discriminatory capacity compared with the more complex GARFIELD-AF score, demonstrating improved clinical usefulness and net clinical benefit.

Summary: This study investigated the association between different temporal patterns of atrial fibrillation (AF) and the risks of ischemic stroke and all-cause mortality. The results showed that patients with persistent and permanent AF had a higher risk of all-cause mortality compared to those with paroxysmal AF, irrespective of underlying comorbidities.
