Is plasma fibrinogen concentration associated with coronary heart disease and other vascular diseases?
This paper outlines the methodology for a large-scale collaborative meta-analysis to precisely characterize the association between plasma fibrinogen and cardiovascular disease.
A 2004 study conducted a meta-analysis in Cardiovascular disease (n=200,000). Plasma fibrinogen concentration was evaluated on Incident cardiovascular deaths and events. A planned meta-analysis will evaluate the association of plasma fibrinogen with incident cardiovascular deaths and events among approximately 200,000 participants followed for about 10 years.
