Overview
Fibrinogen is a key blood protein that helps form clots and stop bleeding. In most settings, low fibrinogen levels, known as hypofibrinogenemia, reduce clot formation. However, whether this also lowers the risk of arterial thrombosis, such as clots in the carotid or coronary arteries, has been unclear. This study examines how low fibrinogen levels and a specific part of the fibrinogen molecule, called the αC region, influence arterial clot formation.
