Eur J Heart Fail. 1999 Aug;1(3):293-5. doi: 10.1016/s1388-9842(99)00030-6.

Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate an inflammatory response indicated by fibrinogen and plasma viscosity in relation to haemodynamic and clinical findings of patients with stable CHF due to coronary heart disease (CHD).
