Clinical implications of the recalibrated CHA₂DS₂-VA score for women after ischemic stroke: a prospective cohort study
In this prospective cohort of AF-related ischemic stroke, women had greater comorbidity burden and higher stroke severity than men. A subgroup with CHA₂DS₂-VA ≤ 1 nonetheless sustained ischemic stroke, and exploratory 5-year follow-up suggested excess recurrence without anticoagulation. These findings require validation in larger cohorts.
