CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc scores as predictors of platelet reactivity in acute coronary syndrome

BackgroundPlatelet function testing (PFT) in patients treated with P2Y₁₂ inhibitors has been widely evaluated for the prediction of stent thrombosis, myocardial infarction, and bleeding events following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Thus, PFT-guided treatment could positively affect patient outcomes. Data regarding clinical parameters for predicting platelet reactivity in ACS patients are limited. Therefore, our study aims to evaluate CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc scores as predictors for platelet reactivity in ACS patients.MethodsTwo hundred and ninety-one consecutive patients who underwent PCI and were treated with aspirin and clopidogrel due to ACS were tested for their CHADS2, CHA2DS2-VASc scores and platelet reactivity using adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-induced aggregation (conventional aggregometry). Patients were classified into groups according to their CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc scores. Low-risk group (0–1 score) for CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc scores and high-risk group (2–6, 2–9) for CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc scores, respectively. Furthermore, platelet reactivity in each group were compared (low CHADS2 group vs high CHADS2 group, and low CHA2DS2-VASc vs high CHA2DS2-VASc). Platelet reactivity was defined as low platelet reactivity (<19 U), optimal platelet reactivity [(OPR); 19–46 U], and high on-treatment platelet reactivity [(HPR); >46 U]. Thereafter receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was conducted to verify whether CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc scores could predict platelet reactivity.ResultsLow CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc scores were significantly correlated with lower mean platelet ADP-induced aggregation as compared with high CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc scores [45.5 U (± 16) vs. 54.8 U (±15) and 44.2 U (±16) vs. 51.0 U (±17), respectively, p = 0.01 for both].ConclusionIn ACS patients treated with clopidogrel following PCI, high CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc scores correlated with HPR and lower scores correlated with OPR. Further studies are needed to evaluate our findings’ clinical implications.

目的分析北京市高同型半胱氨酸血症(HHcy)伴CHA2DS2-VASc≤1的非瓣膜性心房颤动(NVAF)-经皮冠状动脉介入(PCI)患者的预后。方法选择CHA2DS2-VASc=0或1的NVAF-PCI患者共1 688例,评估其主要不良心血管事件的风险及影响因素。依据入院时同型半胱氨酸水平分为对照组(n=1 135, Hcy15μmol/L)和HHcy组(n=553, Hcy≥15μmol/L)。主要终点是MACE事件的发生。结果随访1年,HHcy组MACE事件发生率较高(P=0.017),HHcy组缺血性卒中的发生率明显高于对照组(P=0.009),两组心因死亡(P=0.046)及非致死性心肌梗死(P=0.044)的发生率差异有显著性。结论 HHcy增加CHA2DS2-VASc≤1 NVAF-PCI患者的MACE事件尤其是缺血性卒中的发生,提示这类患者接受抗凝治疗可能临床获益较大。     

Utility of short-term telemetry heart rhythm monitoring and CHA2DS2-VASc stratification in patients presenting with suspected cerebrovascular accident

BACKGROUNDInpatient telemetry heart rhythm monitoring overuse has been linked to higher healthcare costs. AIMTo evaluate if CHA₂DS₂-VASc score could be used to indicate if a patient admitted with possible cerebrovascular accident (CVA) or transient ischemic attack (TIA) requires inpatient telemetry monitoring. METHODSA total of 257 patients presenting with CVA or TIA and placed on telemetry monitoring were analyzed retrospectively. We investigated the utility of telemetry monitoring to diagnose atrial fibrillation/flutter and the CHA₂DS₂-VASc scoring tool to stratify the risk of having CVA/TIA in these patients.RESULTSIn our study population, 63 (24.5%) of the patients with CVA/TIA and telemetry monitoring were determined to have no ischemic neurologic event. Of the 194 (75.5) patients that had a confirmed CVA/TIA, only 6 (2.3%) had an arrhythmia detected during their inpatient telemetry monitoring period. Individuals with a confirmed CVA/TIA had a statistically significant higher CHA₂DS₂-VASc score compared to individuals without an ischemic event (3.59 vs 2.61, P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONGiven the low percentage of inpatient arrhythmias identified, further research should focus on discretionary use of inpatient telemetry on higher risk patients to diagnose the arrhythmias commonly leading to CVA/TIA. A prospective study assessing event rate of CVA/TIA in patients with higher CHA₂DS₂-VASc score should be performed to validate the CHA₂DS₂-VASc score as a possible risk stratifying tool for patients at risk for CVA/TIA.     

CHADS2, CHA2DS2-VASc,ATRIA, and Essen stroke risk scores in stroke with atrial fibrillation: A nationwide multicenter registry study

The performance of scoring systems for risk stratification in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) was not validated well in patients with stroke. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether the risk scoring systems predict vascular outcomes in stroke patients with AF.Data were obtained from a nationwide multicenter registry for acute stroke with AF from January 1, 2013, to December 31, 2015. We investigated the predictive power of the CHADS₂, CHA₂DS₂-VASc, ATRIA, and Essen stroke scores in stroke patients with AF. The subjects were further stratified into groups according to treatment with or without oral anticoagulants (OACs).A total of 3112 stroke with AF subjects were included. The rate of recurrent ischemic stroke and any stroke were not associated with the CHADS₂, CHA₂DS₂-VASc, ATRIA, and Essen stroke risk scores. The risks of death and major adverse cerebrovascular and cardiovascular events (MACEs) increased sequentially with the increase of each risk score in OAC group. (the range of C-index 0.544–0.558 for recurrent ischemic stroke; 0.523–0.537 for any stroke; 0.580–0.597 for death; 0.564–0.583 for MACEs). However, in the group treated with OACs, all risk scores were significantly associated with the risk of MACEs. The C-statistics of the 4 scoring systems were 0.544 to 0.558, 0.523 to 0.537, 0.580 to 0.597, 0.564 to 0.583, respectively, for recurrent ischemic stroke, any stroke, death, and MACEs.The performance of the CHADS₂, CHA₂DS₂-VASc, ATRIA, and Essen stroke risk scores for the prediction of recurrent stroke was unsatisfactory in stroke patients with AF whereas the performance for the prediction of recurrent stroke was not MACEs or death was good. A new risk stratification scheme that is specific for secondary stroke prevention in the AF population is needed.     

Thromboembolic risk evaluation in patients with atrial fibrillation using a modified CHADS(2) scoring system

Thromboembolic Risk Stratification in AF. Background : Antithrombotic recommendations for relatively low risk patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) are not well established. Some patients with CHADS₂ score = 0 have a CHA₂DS₂–VASc score of 2, which indicated warfarin therapy in the latter system. We evaluated the thromboembolic risk in AF patients with a CHADS₂ score of 0 or 1. Methods: A total of 695 patients with AF that were followed for ≥ 12 months (median 65.6 months, range 12–138 months), were analyzed retrospectively. The modified CHADS₂ score (MCS) was applied as follows. Each CHADS₂ score group was divided into 2 groups, A and B (i.e., MCS 0A vs 0B, and MCS 1A vs 1B) according to the number of nonmajor risk factors (female gender, chronic kidney disease, coronary artery disease, age 65–74 years). Group A had 0 or 1, and group B had 2 or more nonmajor risk factors. Results: In patients with CHADS₂ score = 1, there were 13 thromboembolic events (0.65%/year) in 343 MCS 1A patients, and 12 thromboembolic events (1.90%/year) in 108 MCS 1B patients. Thromboembolic risk was significantly higher in the MCS 1B compared to the MCS 1A patients (P = 0.006). In 244 patients with CHADS₂ score = 0, the thromboembolic risk of MCS 0B was similar to that of MCS 0A (P = 0.095), and 26 patients had a CHA₂DS₂–VASc score of 2. Conclusion: Patients with MCS 1B had a higher thromboembolic risk than patients with MCS 1A. Antithrombotic strategies for patients with a CHA₂DS₂–VASc score of 2 but a CHADS₂ score of 0 need further investigation. J Cardiovasc Electrophysiol, Vol. 23, pp. 155‐162, February 2012)     

CHA2DS2-VASc score as a novel predictor for contrast-induced nephropathy after percutaneous coronary intervention in acute coronary syndrome

BackgroundCHA2DS2-VASc score, used for atrial fibrillation to assess the risk of embolic complications, have shown to predict adverse clinical outcomes in acute coronary syndrome (ACS), irrespective of atrial fibrillation. This study envisaged to assess the predictive role of CHA2DS2-VASc score for contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) in patients with ACS undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).MethodsA total of 300 consecutive patients with ACS undergoing PCI were enrolled in this study. CHA2DS2-VASc score was calculated for each patient. These patients were divided into two groups as Group 1 (with CIN) and Group 2 (without CIN). CIN was defined as increase in serum creatinine level ≥0.5 mg/dL or ≥25% increase from baseline within 48 h after PCI. After receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, the study population was again classified into two groups: CHA2DS2-VASc score ≤3 group (Group A) and score ≥4 group (Group B).ResultsCIN was reported in 41 patients (13.6%). Patients with CIN had a higher frequency of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and had a lower left ventricular ejection fraction and baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed good predictive value of CHA2DS2-VASc score for CIN (area under the curve 0.81, 95% CI 0.73–0.90). Patients with a CHA2DS2-VASc score of ≥4 had a higher frequency of CIN as compared with patients with score ≤3 (56.8% vs 4.8%; p = 0.0001) with multivariate analysis demonstrating CHA2DS2-VASc score of ≥4 to be an independent predictor of CIN.ConclusionIn patients with ACS undergoing PCI, CHA2DS2-VASc score can be used as a novel, simple, and a sensitive diagnostic tool for the prediction of CIN.     

Study on the predictive ability of emergency CHADS2 score and CHA2DS2-VASc score for coronary artery disease and prognosis in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction

BackgroundAcute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) has a high morbidity and mortality rate. The congestive heart failure, hypertension, age, diabetes, previous stroke/transient ischemic attack (2 points) (CHADS₂) and CHADS₂ score with 2 points assigned for age >75 years-vascular disease (CHA₂DS₂-VASc) scores are widely used for risk stratification management of non-valvular atrial fibrillation stroke and have high prognostic value in cardiovascular disease. This study aims to investigate the predictive value of the emergency CHADS₂ and CHA₂DS₂-VASc score on coronary artery lesions and prognosis in patients with acute STEMI.MethodsA total of 524 patients with STEMI from May 2018 to October 2021 were selected for emergency CHADS₂ and CHA₂DS₂-VASc. Clinical data and laboratory indicators were collected. Patients were evaluated for coronary artery disease (CAD) and prognosis. Logistic regression and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve were used to analyze the data.ResultsIn severe group, CysC levels, CHADS₂, CHA₂DS₂-VASc score and the proportion of diabetes, stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA), congestive heart failure, smoking history, Killip class ≥2 was higher than that in mild and moderate group. In poor prognosis group, levels of serum creatinine (Crea), CysC, hemoglobin (Hb), CHADS₂, CHA₂DS₂-VASc score and the proportion of hypertension, diabetes, stroke or TIA, congestive heart failure, smoking history, and Killip class ≥2 was higher than that in good prognosis group. Diabetes (OR, 3.678; 95% CI: 2.876–5.872, 0.008), CHADS₂ (OR, 3.829; 95% CI: 2.310–5.832, 0.003) and CHA₂DS₂-VASc score (OR, 4.671; 95% CI: 3.125–6.187, 0.000) were independent risk factors for the severity of CAD (P<0.05). Diabetes (OR, 3.287; 95% CI: 2.231–5.123, 0.012), Killip class ≥2 (OR, 2.212; 95% CI: 1.023–2.987, 0.045), LVEF (OR, 3.110; 95% CI: 2.124–5.031, 0.023), CHADS₂ (OR, 3.228; 95% CI: 2.133–5.886, 0.005) and CHA₂DS₂-VASc score (OR, 3.988; 95% CI: 2.987–5.873, 0.001) were independent risk factors for prognosis of acute STEMI patients. Area under curve (AUC) value of CHA₂DS₂-VASc score in evaluating CAD and prognosis was 0.947, 0.931, higher than that of the CHADS₂ score (0.836, 0.812) (P<0.05).ConclusionsMultiple factors jointly affect the severity and prognosis of CAD in patients with acute STEMI. The CHA₂DS₂-VASc score is better than the CHADS₂ score in predicting the severity of coronary artery lesions and prognosis of patients, providing theoretical support for clinical practice.     

A two center 320 slice CT study for evaluating coronary arteries in subjects with chronic atrial fibrillation: A comparison of prospective and retrospective ECG-gating acquisition

Purpose

To compare diagnostic-accuracy of prospective and retrospective-ECG-gated acquisition in 320-slice-CT for detecting coronary-artery stenosis in subjects with chronic-atrial-fibrillation (CAF) in a two-center study.

Materials and methods

53 CAF subjects who underwent 320-slice-CT, and invasive-coronary-angiogram (ICA) within 6-months (43 male; 69 ± 9 years; CHADS2 score 2.2 ± 1.3; CHA2DS2-VASc score 3.5 ± 1.6) in the two institutes were analyzed. In Institute-1, prospective-ECG-gated acquisition was routinely performed (N = 33). In Institute-2, retrospective-ECG-gated acquisition was routinely performed (N = 20). CT and ICA data were transferred to the analysis center and were analyzed by cardiologists blinded to the clinical-data.

Results

Prevalence of > 50 and > 75% on ICA was 79 and 61% in Institute-1, and 30 and 15% in Institute-2, respectively. In a patient-by-patient analysis, Institute-2 had higher negative-predictive-value (NPV) and accuracy of > 75% stenosis on CT in predicting > 75% stenosis on ICA. In a vessel-by-vessel analysis, there were no significant-differences of sensitivity, specificity, positive-predictive-value (PPV) and NPV of > 50% stenosis on CT in predicting > 50% stenosis on ICA between both institutes. But sensitivity, specificity, and NPV of > 75% stenosis on CT in predicting > 75% stenosis on ICA were significantly higher in Institute-2 than in Institute-1. This is mainly because of more severe coronary-artery disease including calcification in Institute-1; there might also have been an influence of differences in scanning and reconstruction methods.

Conclusions

320-slice-CT shows relatively high diagnostic-accuracy for the detection of significant coronary-artery stenosis compared with ICA even in CAF subjects, in a two-center analysis. Retrospective-ECG-gated acquisition in 320-slice-CT shows significantly higher diagnostic-accuracy than prospective-ECG-gated acquisition for detection of > 75% coronary-artery stenosis.     

CHA2DS2-VASc评分对急性心肌梗死患者院内结局事件的预测价值——China PEACE回顾性急性心肌梗死研究

目的评估CHA₂DS₂-VASc评分对急性心肌梗死(AMI)患者院内结局事件的预测价值。方法回顾性分析冠心病医疗结果评价和临床转化研究(China PEACE)回顾性急性心肌梗死研究中23728例AMI患者的病历信息,按CHA₂DS₂-VASc评分分为低(0~3分)、中(4~6分)、高(7~9分)分值组。院内结局包括主要不良心血管事件、死亡、死亡或放弃治疗、再发心肌梗死、缺血性卒中等。采用多因素Cox回归分析CHA₂DS₂-VASc评分对AMI患者院内结局的影响。通过受试者工作特征(ROC)曲线,评估CHA₂DS₂-VASc评分对AMI患者院内死亡与死亡或放弃治疗的预测价值。结果入组患者年龄66(56,75岁)岁,女性占30.7%。CHA₂DS₂-VASc评分高分值组患者院内结局事件发生率更高,基础疾病更多(P值均<0.001);多因素logistic回归中,院内病死率(OR=6.13,95%CI 4.77~7.87,P<0.001)、院内死亡或放弃治疗率(OR=6.43,95%CI 5.16~8.00,P<0.001)、主要心血管事件发生率(OR=4.94,95%CI 4.06~6.01,P<0.001)明显高于其他两组。ROC曲线分析显示,无论院内病死率,还是死亡或放弃治疗率,CHA₂DS₂-VASc评分与简化版全球急性冠状动脉事件登记(global registry of acute coronary events,mini-GRACE)评分相比差异无统计学意义(ROC曲线下面积:0.699与0.696,P=0.752;0.708与0.713,P=0.489)。结论CHA₂DS₂-VASc评分是一种有效预测AMI患者院内风险的评估工具,该评分操作简单,预测价值与mini-GRACE评分相当。
