In patients with a CHA2DS2VASc score of 2, only 10.1% patients were treated according to guidelines,with a trend towards lower guideline adherence among those at higher stroke risk (CHA2DS2VASc score of ≥3). CHA2DS2-VASc = congestive heart failure, hypertension, age 75 years or older, diabetes mellitus, previous stroke or transient ischemic attack, vascular disease, age 65 to 74 years, female; ESC = European Society of Cardiology; OAC = oral anticoagulant.
