Atrial fibrillation (AF) is an independent risk factor for stroke. Recent studies have demonstrated that the CHA(2)DS(2)-VASc scheme is useful for selecting patients who are truly at low risk. The goal of the present study was to compare the risk of ischemic stroke among AF patients with a CHA(2)DS(2)-VASc score of 0 (male) or 1 (female) with those without AF.
