Combining clinical and polygenic risk improves stroke prediction among individuals with atrial fibrillation
2020-06-20
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with a five-fold increased risk of ischemic stroke. A portion of this risk is heritable, however current risk stratification tools (CHA2DS2-VASc) don’t include family history or genetic risk. We hypothesized that we could improve ischemic stroke prediction in patients with AF by incorporating polygenic risk scores (PRS). <h4>Objectives</h4> To construct an...
