[Newly occurring stenocardia: the role of fibrinogen in the prognosis of a clinical remission over the course of a 1- to 1.5-year follow-up].
A repeated 13.5-month follow-up of 51 patients after hospitalization for angina of new onset showed a clinical remission in 13 (26%) patients. According to the primary examination findings, the patients with clinical remission had lower fibrinogen levels than those without remission (432 +/- 94 versus 542 +/- 196 mg/dl; p = 0.011). Multifactorial analysis demonstrated that the plasma level of fibrinogen was closely related to the occurrence of a clinical remission to the same extent as the "routine" predictors, such as the number of coronary arteries, was associated with hemodynamically significant stenoses and the results of exercise tolerance test.
