Atrial fibrillation and stroke prevention: brief observations on the last decade

Following the publication of the Editorial by Gregory YH Lip, entitled ‘Atrial fibrillation and stroke prevention: brief observations on the last decade’, published in the April 2014 issue of Expert Review of Cardiovascular Therapy (Expert Rev. Cardiovasc. Ther. 12(4), 403–406 [2014]), on page 404, the following table appeared as:

Table 1. Stroke and bleeding risk stratification with the CHA₂DS₂-VASc and HAS-BLED scores.

CHA2DS2-VASc	Score	HAS-BLED	Score
Congestive heart failure/LV dysfunction	1	Hypertension, that is, uncontrolled blood pressure	1
Hypertension	1	Abnormal renal/liver function	1 or 2
Aged ≥75 years	2	Stroke	1
Diabetes mellitus	1	Bleeding tendency or predisposition	1
Stroke/transient ischemic attack/thromboembolism	2	Labile International Normalized Ratio	1
Vascular disease (prior myocardial infarction, peripheral artery disease or aortic plaque)	1	Age (e.g., >65 years, frail condition)	1
Aged 65–74 years	1	Drugs (e.g., concomitant aspirin or NSAIDs) or alcohol excess/abuse	1
Sex category (i.e., female gender)	1
Maximum score	9		9

The table should have read:
