Creating an Inventory of Risk Factors for Predicting Stroke among Atrial Fibrillation Patients: A Systematic Review
In determining which atrial fibrillation (AF) patients should receive anticoagulation therapy, clinical treatment guidelines recommend use of the CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc risk-stratification schemes. While the CHADS2 considers congestive heart failure, hypertension, age ≥75 years, and diabetes mellitus, the CHA2DS2-VASc also considers gender, vascular disease, and patient’s age (65-74 years). Although these risk factors have been demonstrated to be highly predictive of stroke in elderly populations, these schemes may not be comprehensive, especially among younger populations.

Vitamin D and estradiol help guard against heart disease, stroke, and diabetes
(The North American Menopause Society (NAMS)) Vitamin D and estrogen have already shown well-documented results in improving bone health in women. A new study from China suggests that this same combination could help prevent metabolic syndrome, a constellation of conditions that increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes in postmenopausal women. Results are published online today in Menopause, the journal of The North American Menopause Society (NAMS).
