Predictive Value of the CHA₂DS₂-VASc Score on Exercise Capacity in Patients with Cardiovascular Disease.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) improves exercise capacity and is strongly recommended in clinical guidelines. However, no established scoring system exists to predict improvements in exercise capacity following CR.

Objective

This study aimed to assess whether the CHA₂DS₂-VASc score could serve as a predictive scoring system for improvements in exercise capacity after CR.

Methods

Of the 99 patients with cardiovascular disease who participated in the hospital-based CR, those who were ineligible were excluded. The remaining patients were stratified into 2 groups based on the median CHA₂DS₂-VASc score. Changes in peak oxygen uptake (peak VO₂) and clinical parameters from baseline to follow-up were compared bet
