PP-096 A Newly Defined CHA2DS2-VASc-CAC Score and Using Prediction of Coronary Artery Disease Severity by Computed Tomography

CHA2DS2-VASc scores are validated tools for assessing stroke risk in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). It is known that traditional risk factors for coronary artery disease and CHAD2 VASc score's parameters are similar.We formulated the CHA2DS2-VASc-CAC score comprising coronary calcium score(CACS) in addition to the components of the CHA2DS2-VASc score and male instead of female gender as We evaluated multivariable risk assessment tools to identify those at high risk of severe CAD in patients who underwent computed tomography(CT).
