Fibrinogen, its relationship with body weight, lipids and smoking habit in healthy subjects

Plasma fibrinogen levels (Fg) were found to be an important risk factor for coronary heart disease in men and women, with and without pre-existing coronary heart disease. Fibrinogen is also important as a risk factor for coronary death in association with other factors, the most important of which i...
