The HATCH score (Heart failure, Age, TIA/stroke, COPD, Hypertension) estimates the risk of an individual's paroxysmal atrial fibrillation progressing to persistent or permanent atrial fibrillation within one year. It aids clinicians in deciding whether to pursue a rhythm-control strategy or to accept rate-control early on.
Patients with a HATCH score >5 have an extremely high rate of progression (often >50% at 1 year). In these patients, repeated cardioversions are likely to fail, and an early rate-control strategy or advanced catheter ablation may be more appropriate.
