Low-dose oral anticoagulation in patients with mechanical heart valve prostheses: final report from the early self-management anticoagulation trial II.

abstract：:The importance of fibrinogen has been identified in two prospective observational studies. Reactive elevations in fibrinogen levels that occur within hours of a major stroke invalidate most cross-sectional case-control studies evaluating fibrinogen as a risk factor. However, as no elevation is seen following fresh epi...
