How long will it take to start seeing results?

Weight loss is a highly personal experience and depends on a lot of factors such as your fitness levels, nutrition, underlying ailments, mental health etc. The timelines, thus, differ from person to person - however, most of Fitelo’s clients have experienced great outcomes for their weight loss goals within 90 days of getting started with our programs.

Can I pause my Fitelo plan?

The pause feature is currently active for our 9-month and 12-month programs

How is Fitelo different from other fitness platforms?

We hate calorie counting, don’t believe in extreme gymming, never recommend supplements and lastly, encourage cheat meals! :)

CHA2DS2-Vasc Calculator

Item: CHA2DS2-Vasc Calculator
Rating: 4.9
Author: Fitelo

The CHA2DS2-VASc Score Calculator is an essential tool used to assess the risk of ischemic stroke and other thromboembolic events in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). This scale helps guide decisions on anticoagulant therapy, balancing the need to prevent stroke with the risk of major bleeding.
Developed in 2010, the CHA2DS2-VASc score enhanced the older CHADS2 score by incorporating additional stroke risk factors like female sex, vascular disease, and age between 65–74. Today, it is widely recommended by the American Heart Association and used in clinical practice globally.

Congestive Heart Failure: Hypertension:

Age (65-74): Age ≥75:

Diabetes Mellitus: Stroke/TIA/Thromboembolism:

Vascular Disease: Female Sex:

How to Use the CHA2DS2-VASc Calculator

To use the calculator:

Enter patient-specific factors:
- Congestive Heart Failure: Evidence of reduced ejection fraction or related symptoms.
- Hypertension: Blood pressure consistently >140/90 mmHg or current treatment.
- Age: Mark for 65–74 years or ≥75 years.
- Diabetes Mellitus: Diagnosed or treated with insulin/anti-diabetic drugs.
- Stroke/TIA/Thromboembolism: Previous incidents of cerebral ischemia.
- Vascular Disease: History of myocardial infarction, peripheral artery disease, or aortic plaque.
- Female Sex: Counted only if at least one other risk factor is present.
The calculator assigns points based on these factors, with a maximum possible score of 10.

Healthy vs. Unhealthy Ranges

The CHA2DS2-VASc score categorizes patients into stroke risk groups:

Score 0 (Low Risk): No anticoagulation needed.
HypertScore 1 (Moderate Risk): Anticoagulation may be considered, depending on patient-specific factors.
Score ≥2 (High Risk): Anticoagulation therapy is strongly recommended to prevent stroke.

Results Interpretation

CHA2DS2-VASc Score Example:
Let’s consider a patient with the following profile:

Congestive Heart Failure: Yes (1 point)
Hypertension: Yes (1 point)
Age: 72 years (1 point)
Diabetes Mellitus: Yes (1 point)
Stroke/TIA/Thromboembolism: No (0 points)
Vascular Disease: Yes (1 point)
Female Sex: Yes (1 point)

CHA2DS2-VASc Score: 6 (High Risk)

This patient requires anticoagulation therapy to significantly reduce their risk of stroke.

What is the CHA2DS2-VASc Score?

The score assesses stroke risk factors:

Congestive Heart Failure (1 point)
Hypertension (1 point)
Age: 65–74 years (1 point), ≥75 years (2 points)
Diabetes Mellitus (1 point)
Stroke/TIA/Thromboembolism (2 points)
Vascular Disease (1 point)
Female Sex (1 point)

Key Notes:

The CHA2DS2-VASc score builds upon the older CHADS2 score by incorporating additional risk factors.
It is primarily used for patients with atrial fibrillation but may have broader applications in evaluating cardiovascular risk.
Stroke risk factors often overlap with those for other cardiovascular conditions.

Why Use This Calculator?

The CHA2DS2-VASc calculator is a quick, reliable, and validated tool that helps:

Optimize treatment plans: Guides decisions about anticoagulant use.
Improve patient outcomes: Reduces the risk of thromboembolic events.
Save time: Simplifies complex clinical assessments with easy-to-understand scoring.
