[Prognostic value of fibrinogen in patients admitted with suspected unstable angina and non-q-wave myocardial infarction].

Introduction And Objective: In recent years, the relation between biological markers of inflammation and prognosis in patients suffering from acute coronary syndromes has been investigated. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between baseline fibrinogen concentrations and the development of clinical events in patients admitted with suspicion of unstable angina and non-Q-wave myocardial infarction.

Material And Method: Levels of fibrinogen at enrollment were analyzed in 325 consecutive patients with acute coronary syndromes.
