Reiffel - Atrial Fibrillation and Stroke: Epidemiology - Figure 27

Stroke Risk Stratification

This Figure compares the risk factors and scoring for CHADS2 vs CHA2DS2-VASc [46] In the lower left the increase in annual risk is shown for the 2 scoring systems, and it can be seen that the level of overall risk is lower with each point in CHA2DS2-VASc than with CHADS2, and the rate of increase in risk is smaller with each additional point in the scoring.  Nevertheless, the risk for stroke increases significantly with additional risk factors, and physicians should pay as much attention to the rate of increase in risk as to the absolute level in individual patients.
