Platelet size, measured as mean platelet volume (MPV), is associated with platelet reactivity.
MPV has been identified as an independent risk factor for future stroke and myocardial …

Early detection of atrial fibrillation patients at high risk for stroke is important. There are some
studies which indicate that mean platelet volume (MPV) determines the prognosis and risk in …

Atrial fibrillation is the most common sustained arrhythmia in clinical practice. It is important
to specify patients with a high risk of thromboembolus due to elevated procoagulant and …

Mean platelet volume (MPV), a marker of platelet activation, is a surrogate marker of platelet
function and a potential mediator of the association between inflammation and thrombosis …

Platelets and clotting cascade play a major role in development of atrial thrombus in patients
with atrial fibrillation. The mean platelet volume (MPV) reflects platelet size and is …

Platelets are essential for progression of atherosclerotic lesions, plaque destabilization, and
thrombosis. They secrete and express many substances that are crucial mediators of …

Background and Purpose—Mean platelet volume (MPV) is positively associated with
measures of platelet activity and may be a useful indicator of the risk of vascular events in a …

Background Mean platelet volume has been associated with stroke in patients with atrial
fibrillation. However, its role as a predictor of left atrial stasis, assessed by transesophageal …

Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation might be a risk factor for stroke such as chronic atrial fibrillation.
We examined the relation between mean platelet volume and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation to …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia and associated with adverse
outcomes and increased risk for thromboembolic events. Warfarin is still the most …
