Background: High Syntax score (SXscore) is associated with more serious disease and worse prognosis in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Plasma fibrinogen levels are associated with poor cardiovascular outcomes.Aim: To investigate the relation of admission fibrinogen levels with intermediate-high SXscore in patients with ACS.Methods: A total of 752 patients (61.6 +/- 12.8 years, 67.3% men) with ACS, who underwent urgent coronary angiography (CAG) were enrolled. Laboratory data including fibrinogen and high sensitivity C-reactive protein were obtained before CAG. Syntax scores of all patients were calculated from baseline CAG. The patients were divided into two groups: low SXscore (= 23).Results: Admission fibrinogen levels were significantly higher in the SXscore >= 23 group when compared with the SXscore 417 mg/dL had an 80.0% sensitivity and 71.3% specificity in predicting intermediate-high SXscore.Conclusions: Increased fibrinogen levels are independently associated with intermediate-high SXscore in patients with ACS.
