Can someone explain why there is no points added if someone in your family has had a stroke when doing the score
My mum had a TIA aged 59 then she was diagnosed with AFIB and had 8 years battling AFIB as she was very symptomatic she went onto thinners as well but still had a stroke at 67 , she never smoked or drank and was fit for her age .
Yet I’m aged 50 have part time AFIB and have a score of 0 in regards risk of stroke
I just find it odd that close family history is not taken into account and your not given a point on the scores as precaution at least having a close family member who had a stroke etc .
I appreciate my mums score would have been around 4 when she had the stroke due to her being female aged 67 and already had a TIA and had AFIB .
Just curious if anyone knows why they seem to ignore family history to a degree
