Abstract:The presence of both atrial fibrillation (AF) and heart failure (HF) increases the risk of an ischemic cerebrovascular event (CVE) by roughly fivefold. The HATCH score is a score used to predict new-onset AF. Although there are some differences, it contains risk factors similar to the CHA2DS2-VASc score. Our study aimed to investigate the relationship between the HATCH score and ischemic CVE. This retrospective study obtained data from 1719 HF patients between 2015 and 2022. About 673 patients with AF were inc… Show more
