Episode 298: 297. Which one of the CHADVASC is worse?

In patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), how do CHA2DS2-VASc 1 subgroups compare with one another

64 141 patients with a first AF diagnosis

Patients were categorized as CHA2DS2-VASc 1 if they had any 1 of age 65 to 74 years, congestive heart failure (HF), hypertension, diabetes, or vascular disease

found no large differences in ischemic stroke, transient cerebral ischemia, or systemic arterial embolism among clinical risk factor subgroups of patients with AF who did not receive anticoagulant therapy and fell into (CHA2DS2-VASc score of 1

good news if you have a chadvasc score of one it doesn’t matter which 1 made you the one you have roughly the same risk for a bad event.
