Abstract
Objective: Fibrinogen plasma level rises in the event of inflammatory cases. It is known that there is a powerful intercourse between fibrinogen level and plasma viscosity. Albumin plasma level dropes during the inflammatory cases. The aim of this work determine significance of fibrinogen albumin ratio (FAR) as a indicator emphases the burden of atherosclerosis.
 Method: The study included 83 patients diagnosed with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) between January and September 2015. The definition of NSTEMI was made according to “Definition of Third Universal Myocardial Infarction” guidelines published on 2013 by European Society of Cardiology. Burden of atherosclerosis was evaluated by Syntax score (SS) and Gensini Score. Patients were seperated two groups as medium-high SS (n=23) and low SS (n=60). FAR levels were compared.
 Results: FAR was 80.71 ± 30.3 in low SS group and 120 ± 49.72 in the mid-high SS group respectively (p
