Abstract

The CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc score were used to evaluate the atrial fibrillation-related risk of stroke, and HAS-BLED score was used to estimate the oral anticoagulation-bleeding risk. We investigated the relationships between these 3 scores and the outcomes of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients with rheumatic heart disease (RHD) at 3 months after stroke. We retrospectively included patients admitted within 1 month after stroke from October 2011 to February 2014 who was also diagnosed with RHD. The patients' demographics; National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score on admission; risk factors; prior anticoagulation; and CHADS2, CHA2DS2-VASc, and HAS-BLED scores on admission were collected, and symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) during hospitalization was observed as well. The patients were followed up at 3 months after stroke to assess the clinical outcomes. Of 1425 patients with AIS, 172 patients were diagnosed with RHD. Eleven patients (6.4%) were lost to follow-up at 3 months. One hundred sixty-one patients (48 males, mean age 57.5 years) were finally analyzed in the study. The HAS-BLED score was associated with the occurrence of sICH in both univariate (P = .001; odds ratio [OR] 2.223, 95% confidence interval [...Continue Reading

Atrial Filbrillation

Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. Here is the latest research.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.

Brain Ischemia

Brain ischemia is a condition in which there is insufficient blood flow to the brain to meet metabolic demand. Discover the latest research on brain ischemia here.
