HAT₂CH₂ Score Predicts Systemic Thromboembolic Events in Elderly After Cardiac Electronic Device Implantation.

ABSTRACT: Background: The HAT₂CH₂ score has been evaluated for predicting new onset atrial fibrillation, but never for adverse systemic thromboembolic events (STE) in elderly. We aimed to evaluate the HAT₂CH₂ score and comparing to atrial high rate episodes (AHRE) ≥24 h for predicting STE in older patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIED) implantation. Methods: We retrospective enrolled 219 consecutive patients ≥ 65 years of age undergoing CIED implantation. The primary endpoint was subsequent STE. For all patients in the cohort, the CHA₂DS₂-VASc, C₂HEST, mC₂HEST, HAVOC, HAT₂CH₂ scores and AHRE ≥ 24 h were determined. AHRE was defined as > 175 bpm lasting ≥ 30
