What score indicates PO AC recommendation for males in CHA2DS2-VASc scoring?

  1. 1

  2. 2

  3. 3

  4. 4

The correct answer is: 2

In the CHA2DS2-VASc scoring system, which is used to predict the risk of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation, different points are assigned based on certain risk factors. For males, a score of 2 or higher indicates a recommendation for anticoagulation therapy (PO AC). This is because a higher CHA2DS2-VASc score signifies a greater risk of stroke, and males with a score of 2 or more would benefit from anticoagulation to reduce their risk of stroke. Therefore, a score of 2 is the correct option for the PO AC recommendation for males in the CHA2DS2-VASc scoring system. It's important to note that the other options are incorrect because they do not align with the specific scoring thresholds for recommending anticoagulation therapy in males according to the CHA2DS2-VASc scoring system.
