Atrial Fibrillation Stroke Risk Calculator

CHA2DS2-VASc score, an updated version of CHADS2, is a clinical prediction rule for determining the risk of stroke in patients with non-rheumatic atrial fibrillation(AF). AF is a common and serious heart arrhythmia associated with thromboembolic stroke. A high score in the CHA2DS2-VASc score calculator represents the greater risk of stroke. Fill the following fields to know your CHA2DS2-VASc score using this atrial fibrillation stroke risk calculator.

CHA2DS2-VASc score is important as it aids to know the requirement of treatment with anticoagulation therapy. This Atrial fibrillation stroke risk calculator calculates the stroke risk of patients with atrial fibrillation, possibly better than CHADS2 score.

What's your personal AF stroke risk?

At 40, we all have a one in four chance of developing AF. Having AF means that you are five times more likely to suffer from a stroke than someone without AF. Individual risk of stroke, however, will be determined by several contributory factors.

If you’ve been diagnosed with AF please use this calculator to work out a personal estimate of your stroke risk. The tool collects vital information on your health and provides a print out of information that you and your doctor will be able to use when assessing the potential need for treatment to reduce your risk of stroke because of AF.

Atrial fibrillation, sometimes called atrial fibrillation (Afib), is the most common cardiac arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat).

It occurs when the two upper chambers of the heart (the atria) contract too quickly or uncontrollably.

Your heartbeat is controlled by electrical impulses that coordinate the contractions of your heart. In atrial fibrillation, these electrical impulses become irregular, causing the two upper chambers of the heart (the atria) to contract in an uncoordinated way. This results in an irregular and often rapid heartbeat that can sometimes feel like a flutter.

When your heart beats irregularly, it does not pump blood as efficiently as it should. This can cause you to feel sick or experience other atrial fibrillation symptoms because not all parts of your body are getting oxygen properly.

Atrial fibrillation is not life-threatening in itself. However, it is important to get treatment, not only to control symptoms, but also because atrial fibrillation can lead to more serious conditions such as stroke.

What causes atrial fibrillation?

The cause of atrial fibrillation is not fully understood. Atrial fibrillation is more likely in people with conditions such as high blood pressure, obesity, sleep apnea syndrome (cessation of breathing during sleep), and Narrowing of the coronary arteries. It can be triggered in certain situations Such as excessive alcohol consumption or smoking.

Your doctor may want to perform tests such as an echo, CT scan or MRI scan of the heart, a sleep study, or blood tests to determine the Determine the triggering factors for the arrhythmia.

What are the symptoms?

The symptoms of atrial fibrillation vary widely and usually consist of a noticeably irregular, rapid pulse and palpitations. In addition, there are, fatigue, dizziness or shortness of breath
shortness of breath occur because the heart pumps somewhat less efficiently than than with a regular and light rhythm. However, there are also some people in whom atrial  fibrillation goes unnoticed.
