| - CHADS score or CHADS2 score is a clinical prediction rule for estimating the risk of stroke in patients with nonrheumatic, or nonvalvular, atrial fibrillation (AF) a common and usually benign heart arrythmia. It is used to determine the degree of antithrombotic therapy required, since AF can cause stasis of blood in the upper heart chambers, leading to the formation of a mural thrombus that can dislodge into the blood flow, reach the brain and cause a stroke. The higher a CHADS2 score, the greater the risk of stroke. (en)
