    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Cardiovascular Medicine
    • Hematology

    Context:

    • Fibrinogen, a hepatic synthesis globulin, is crucial for coagulation.
    • Elevated plasma fibrinogen is a major, independent risk factor for atherosclerosis.
    • It plays a significant role in cardiovascular disease development.

    Purpose:

    • To review current pharmacological knowledge on fibrinogen.
    • To examine the relationship between fibrinogen and cardiovascular risk factors (smoking, hypercholesterolemia).
    • To elucidate the pathogenetic mechanisms linking hyperfibrinogenemia to atherosclerosis.
    • To analyze potential fibrinogen-lowering therapies.

    Summary:

    • This review synthesizes information on fibrinogen's role in atherosclerosis.
    • It details the link between high fibrinogen levels and cardiovascular disease.
    • Mechanisms of hyperfibrinogenemia in atherosclerosis and therapeutic strategies are discussed.

    Impact:

    • Highlights fibrinogen as a key target for cardiovascular disease screening.
    • Provides insights into managing atherosclerosis risk through fibrinogen modulation.
    • Informs pharmacological strategies for cardiovascular disease prevention and treatment.
