Question 1

List the HAS-BLED risk stratification for bleeding

Answer 1

Low risk < 2
Moderate risk 2
High risk 3+

Question 2

List the CHA2DS2-VASc risk stratification for stroke

Answer 2

1) Low risk: 0
2) Elevated or high risk: 2 or more
3) Intermediate risk: 1

Question 3

If HAS-BLED <2, what should you assume?

Answer 3

Low risk for bleeding

Question 4

At what CHA2DS2-VASc are OACs recommended?

(Assume low risk of bleeding (HAS-BLED <2)

Answer 4

2 or more (elevated or high stroke risk)

Question 5

What should you do for a CHA2DS2-VASc of 0 (low stroke risk)?

(Assume low risk of bleeding (HAS-BLED <2)

Answer 5

Don’t require AC; may consider ASA

Question 6

What should you do for Intermediate stroke risk (CHA2DS2-VASc of 1)?

(Assume low risk of bleeding (HAS-BLED <2)

Answer 6

Consider OAC
-likely to benefit if HAS BLED is low (< 2)
-If OAC declined, consider ASA

Question 7

True or false: antiplatelets and anticoagulants are not the same

Answer 7

True

Question 8

How do you calculate CHA2DS2-VASc?

Answer 8

Question 9

How do you calculate HAS-BLED?

Answer 9
