...Feng Xu; Shuzheng Lv; Yundai Chen; Xiantao Song; Zening Jin; Fei Yuan; Yuan Zhou; Hong Li Objective: We tested the hypothesis that the plasma levels of fibrinogen and macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP)-1β are synergistic predictive markers of the prognosis of intermediate coronary artery lesions...

... before the acute event. To assess whether they are a marker of a hypercoagulable state, the serum or plasma levels of C3, C4, C3a, C4a, Cl inactivator, antithrombin III, protein S, protein C, fibrinogen and tissue plasminogen activator were measured in 31 patients with previous myocardial infarction...

Toutouzas The effect of cilazapril (CLZ) treatment on serum lipids and fibrinogen was studied in 114 hypertensive patients for 18 weeks. Blood pressure, heart rate, lipid...

... or impedance techniques. Similarly, DMP728 inhibited (IC 50 = 2.3 ± 0.8 nM) with equipotency in inhibiting 125 I-fibrinogen binding to human gel-purified platelets regardless of the agonist used. In purified human GPIIb/IIIa ELISA, DMP728 demonstrated a competitive high affinity binding (K i = 0.4 nM...

...M. Schumacher; B. Eber; A. Tiran; H. Toplak; O. Luha; R. Gasser; W. Klein Fibrinogen has turned out to be an independent risk factor for coronary heart disease (CHD). It is not known whether or not this parameter could be a prognostic factor for restenosis following percutaneous translumianl...

...Ai-jun Sun; Hui-li Ma; Xue-ying Chen; Ying Wang; Ye-ming Fang; Yong-li Ma; Ke-qiang Wang; Yun-zeng Zou; Wei Huang; Jun-bo Ge Background: The aim of this study was to observe the association between fibrinogen C148T, G854A polymorphisms and plasma fibrinogen levels in a large cohort of Chinese...

...Helen Sjöland; Lilian Tengborn; Lillemor Stensdotter; Johan Herlitz Aim: To explore the association between the coagulation protein fibrinogen and the fibrinolytic biomarker plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) and the long-term mortality after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Patients...

... fibrinogen and viscosity (as parameters of blood rheology) with OSA was evaluated. Results: One hundred and ten patients aged 61.4 ± 10.1 years (body mass index 28.4 ± 4.1 kg/m 2 ) were included. OSA was confirmed in 63 patients (57.2%) with an apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) of 28.7 ± 14.9 events/hour. Patients...

...Tzong-Luen Wang; Chi-Ren Hung; Hang Chang Background: Although increased D-dimer and fibrinogen have been proved to be related with atrial fibrillation (AF), their evolution in the course of time remains unclear. Methods: To elucidate the evolution of plasma D-dimer and fibrinogen in AF...

.... Methods: A standard 12-lead ECG was obtained from 85 patients with ACS on admission (0d). Markers of the hemostatic and inflammatory system were measured on admission and after 2 days (2d). Results: Patients with ST-T-changes had higher fibrinogen and thrombin-antithrombin III complex (TAT) levels than...
