Abstract

According to the findings given in the literature, we raised the hypothesis that thrombosis in the CHF patients may to develop because of interaction of inflammation process and platelet activity. We aimed to compare the fibrinogen, CRP concentrations, platelet count, MPV and platelet aggregation in CHF patients’ groups according to the serum NT-proBNP and to find the correlation between the following readings.
