European Heart Rhythm Association score of atrial fibrillation
Classification system of atrial fibrillation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The European Heart Rhythm Association score of atrial fibrillation (or EHRA score) is a classification system for the extent of atrial fibrillation. It places patients in one of four categories based on how much they are limited during physical activity; the limitations/symptoms are in regard to normal breathing and varying degrees in shortness of breath and/or angina.[1]
| EHRA Class | Symptoms |
|---|---|
| I | No symptoms. |
| II | Mild symptoms; normal daily activity not affected. |
| III | Severe symptoms; normal daily activity affected. |
| IV | Disabling symptoms; normal daily activity discontinued. |
The classification system is named after the European Heart Rhythm Association.[1]
