P1635A risk score for prediction of TIA/ischemic stroke in patients with heart failure and sinus rhythm

Background Prediction of ischemic cerebral events in patients with heart failure (HF) in the absence of atrial fibrillation (AF) is challenging. Purpose To prospectively test a staged approach to identify patients with HF and sinus rhythm who are at high risk of developing TIA/ischemic stroke (TIA/IS) during the first two years after diagnosis. Methods The analysis is based on patient data reported in the Swedish Heart Failure Register from...
