Using common patient history of comorbidities and conditions, in addition to traditional lifestyle factors, assess the total risk of suffering a stroke. Developed by the AHA and revised in 2023 for patient use, a positive score is associated with a high likelihood of suffering a stroke while a negative score has a low likelihood. Has not been validated for clinical use.
