In this population-based study on diabetic patients without AF, the CHA2 DS2 -VASc score was an independent predictor of ischemic stroke, coronary events, and overall mortality. Regardless of the AF status, the CHA2 DS2 -VASc score might represent a rapid and user-friendly tool for clinical assessment of diabetic patients at higher cardiovascular risk.
