Relationship between CHA(2)DS(2)-VASc score, coronary artery disease severity, residual platelet reactivity and long-term clinical outcomes in patients with acute coronary syndrome

摘要

Background: The CHA(2)DS(2)-VASc score predicts stroke risk in patients with atrial fibrillation, but recently has been reported to have a prognostic role even in patients with ACS. We sought to assess the ability of the CHA(2)DS(2)-VASc score to predict the severity of coronary artery disease, high residual platelet reactivity and long-term outcomes in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
