Background: Platelet activation appears to play an important role in thromboembolic
complications of infective endocarditis (IE). Mean platelet volume (MPV) is a potentially …

Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the mean platelet volume (MPV), an indicator
of platelet activation in patients with infective endocarditis. Subjects and Methods: Twenty …

OBJECTIVES: This study was designed to examine the change in mean platelet volume
(MPV) over the course of infective endocarditis (IE) and also the association between MPV …

Infective endocarditis (IE), an infection of the endocardial surface, frequently leads to life-
threatening complications, such as thromboembolism due to platelet activation. We …

We read with great interest the article ''Mean Platelet Volume and Mean Platelet
Volume/Platelet Count Ratio in Infective Endocarditis''by Cho et al.[1]. The authors …

We hypothesised that increased on-admission and follow-up mean platelet volume (MPV)
levels would correlate with adverse outcomes in patients with infective endocarditis (IE). A …

Aim: We aimed to examine the association between baseline mean platelet volume/platelet
count ratio (MPR) and all-cause mortality in patients with infective endocarditis (IE). Patients …

Objective: Cardiomyopathy (CMP) is a disorder associated with an increased risk of
thromboembolism due to blood stasis, platelet activation and altered coagulation status. In …

Background: Inflammation‐induced procoagulant changes and alterations in platelet activity
appear to play an important role in thromboembolic complications of infective endocarditis …

We assessed the clinical echocardiograhic, hematological, and biochemical parameters in
patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCMP) and control individuals mainly focusing on the …
