From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from EHRA classification)

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]
