ABCD is a clinical mnemonic used to assess and stratify the risk of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation, incorporating Age, Blood pressure, Clinical features, and Diabetes status. It guides anticoagulation decisions to prevent thromboembolic events, reducing stroke risk. For example, a higher ABCD score indicates increased stroke risk, prompting more aggressive management.
