How to Use This Calculator
  1. Enter 0 or 1 for CHF, hypertension, age ≥ 75, diabetes, prior stroke/TIA, vascular disease, age 65–74, and female sex.
  2. Review CHA₂DS₂-VASc Score and annual stroke risk (%).
  3. Score ≥ 2 (men) or ≥ 3 (women) generally warrants anticoagulation in atrial fibrillation.

What each input means

Congestive Heart Failure
History of CHF or LV dysfunction (+1 point).
Hypertension
Resting BP >140/90 or on antihypertensives (+1 point).
Age >= 75
Age 75 or older (+2 points).
Diabetes Mellitus
Fasting glucose >125 or on treatment (+1 point).
Prior Stroke/TIA/Thromboembolism
Previous stroke, TIA, or systemic embolism (+2 points).
Vascular Disease
Prior MI, PAD, or aortic plaque (+1 point).
Age 65-74
Age between 65 and 74 (+1 point).
Sex
Biological sex (+1 point for female).

How this is calculated

Worked example, using the default values

  1. Identify Input Parameters
    4 parameters
    Congestive Heart Failure = 0, Hypertension = 0, Age >= 75 = 0, Diabetes Mellitus = 0 = 8 input(s) provided
  2. Calculate CHA₂DS₂-VASc Score
    CHA₂DS₂-VASc Score
    0 = 0
  3. Calculate Annual Stroke Risk
    Annual Stroke Risk
    0 = 0%
  4. Calculate Anticoag. Recommendation
    Anticoag. Recommendation
    0 = 0
