ELEVATED SERUM FIBRINOGEN LEVEL IS ASSOCIATED WITH LONG-TERM MAJOR ADVERSE CARDIAC EVENTS FOLLOWING PERCUTANEOUS CORONARY INTERVENTION

Elevated fibrinogen is associated with short-term major adverse cardiac events (MACE) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The relationship between pre-procedural fibrinogen and long-term MACE after PCI is unknown. Individuals undergoing elective or urgent (acute coronary syndrome [ACS
