AF-STROKE è una semplice applicazione per valutare i pazienti con fibrillazione atriale

AF-STROKE

AF-STROKE is a simple application to assess patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) against stroke risk factors and to help choose appropriate antithrombotic therapy for stroke prevention. It calculates at once CHADS2, CHA2DS2-VASc, and HAS-BLED scores and creatinine clearance according to the Cockcroft-Gault equation. Based on the score results, the latest ESC and AHA/ASA advice on antithrombotic therapy is given. It is known to be crucial to check creatinine clearance before prescribing novel oral anticoagulants to avoid serious complications. The application warns you about the contraindication or necessity for a dose reduction, if creatinine clearance is abnormal. Finally, the latest ESC, ESO, AHA/ASA, NICE, and Canadian Cardiovascular Society guidelines are available for reviewing.

The main features of the application are:

-Getting the results with minimal screen touches

-Guidelines of the leading world scientific societies (available in the full version only)

-Small application size

-Supporting devices with different screen size and orientation, including tablets

-English and Russian languages
