Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is one of the leading causes of mortality, globally. Atherosclerosis is an underlying factor in ACS process and coagulative cascade is activated secondary to atherosclerotic plaque rupture. Fibrinopeptide A (FPA) takes an active role in thrombus formation and is an indicator of coagulative process. We aimed to evaluate serum FPA level in patients with ACS.
