Abstract
In 120 patients with myocardial infarction subsequent non-fatal thromboemboli occurred only in patients in whom plasma-fibrinogen had exceeded 750 mg/dl. It is suggested that patients at risk from thromboembolism after infarction can be identified by monitoring plasma-fibrinogen and that appropriate anticoagulation might reduce morbidity.Entities:
