What is the CHA2DS2-VASc score for CHF?

  1. 1

  2. 2

  3. 3

  4. 0

The correct answer is: 1

The correct CHA2DS2-VASc score for Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) is 1. In the CHA2DS2-VASc scoring system used in atrial fibrillation, CHF is assigned 1 point, along with other factors such as hypertension, age ≥75 years, diabetes mellitus, prior stroke or transient ischemic attack, vascular disease, age 65-74 years, and sex category (female gender). Therefore, having CHF contributes 1 point to the overall CHA2DS2-VASc score.
