2014 AHA/ASA Guideline Recommendations for Prevention of Stroke in Women (DO NOT EDIT)[1]
Class I |
"1. Risk stratification tools in atrial fibrillation that account for age and sex-specific differences in the incidence of stroke are recommended. (Level of Evidence: A) " |
"2. Considering the increased prevalence of AF with age and the higher risk of stroke in elderly women with AF, active screening (in particular of women >75 years of age) in primary care settings using pulse taking followed by an ECG as appropriate is recommended. (Level of Evidence: B) " |
"3. New oral anticoagulants are a useful alternative to warfarin for the prevention of stroke and systemic thromboembolism in women with paroxysmal or permanent AF and prespecified risk factors (according to CHA2DS2-VASc) who do not have a prosthetic heart valve or hemodynamically significant valve disease, severe renal failure (creatinine clearance 15 mL/min), lower weight (<50 kg), or advanced liver disease (impaired baseline clotting function). (Level of Evidence: A) " |
Class III (No Benefit) |
" Oral anticoagulation in women aged ≤65 years with AF alone (no other risk factors; women with CHADS2=0 or CHA2DS2-VASc=1) is not recommended. (Level of Evidence: B) " |
Class IIa |
" Antiplatelet therapy is a reasonable therapeutic option for selected low-risk women aged ≤65 years with AF alone (no other risk factors; women with CHADS2=0 or CHA2DS2-VASc=1). (Level of Evidence: B) " |
