Predictive value of fibrinogen-to-albumin ratio in acute coronary syndrome.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Postcardiac injury syndrome (PCIS) is an inflammatory complication that derives from injury to the epicardium, myocardium, or endocardium. It occurs after trauma, myocardial infarction, percutaneous coronary intervention, cardiac surgery, intracardiac ablation, and implantation of cardiac implantable electro...
