Identification of atrial fibrillation phenotypes at low risk of stroke in patients with CHA2DS2 ‐VASc ≥2: Insight from the China‐AF study

ConclusionsCluster analysis identified a distinct clinical phenotype at low risk of stroke among high-risk [CHA2DS2-VASc ≥2 (3 for females)] patients with AF. The use of the novel analytic approach has the potential to prevent a subset of AF patients from unnecessary anticoagulation and avoid the associated risk of major bleeding.
