CHA₂DS₂-VASc score as predictor of ischemic stroke in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting and percutaneous coronary intervention.

ABSTRACT: Ischemic stroke following coronary revascularization procedures remains one of the most potentially devastating complications. CHA₂DS₂-VASc score has been widely used for stroke risk stratification in AF patients. The aim of this nationwide study was to examine the association between the CHA₂DS₂-VASc score and ischemic stroke following coronary revascularization procedures. We identified patients undergoing coronary revascularization procedures, coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), using the electronic Hospitalization Summary Reports. Logistic regression models were applied to evaluate the association of CHA₂DS₂-VASc score with the risk of post-procedural ischemic stroke. We i
