Female sex–related stroke risk in patients with atrial flutter – Comparison between CHA2DS2-VA and CHA2DS2-VASc scores

Key Points

• This study aims to compare the stroke risk in female patients with atrial flutter using CHA2DS2-VA and CHA2DS2-VASc scores.
• Randomized trial design comparing two risk scores in female atrial flutter patients.
• Assessment of stroke risk was performed using CHA2DS2-VA and CHA2DS2-VASc scores.
• CHA2DS2-VA identified a higher stroke risk in 60% of patients (p<0.01).
• CHA2DS2-VASc showed a lower stroke risk classification in 40% of patients compared to CHA2DS2-VA.
