We have read the recently published article entitled ''Usefulness of the mean platelet volume
(MPV) for predicting new-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) after isolated coronary artery bypass …

Platelet activation occurs in peripheral blood of patients with rheumatic mitral stenosis (MS)
and atrial fibrillation (AF) and could be related to abnormal thrombogenesis. However, the …

The aim of this study was to assess the values of mean platelet volume (MPV) in regular
smokers and the effect of smoking cessation on MPV. The study group consisted of 116 …

Background The prognostic efficacy of quantitative platelet activity in atrial fibrillation (AF)
remains unclear. Objective The purpose of this study was to evaluate the platelet count …

Mitral annular calcification (MAC) is associated with several cardiovascular disorders
including coronary artery disease (CAD), atherosclerosis, heart failure, and stroke. MAC and …

Objective: Neutrophil–lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has been associated with poor outcomes in
patients with cardiovascular diseases. We aimed to compare NLRs among patients with …

RESULTS Blood platelet count, plasma fibrinogen, and viscosity values were similar in
healthy controls and AF patients, whereas mean haematocrit concentrations were …

BACKGROUND: The underlying mechanisms of increased risk of thrombo-embolism in atrial
fibrillation (AF) are not completely understood; however, substantial evidence supports that …

Background: Increased levels of plasma von Willebrand factor (vWf, an index of endothelial
damage/dysfunction) and soluble P-selectin (sP-sel, an index of platelet activation) …

The aim of this study was to determine the impact of mean platelet volume (MPV) on the
strategy for treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF) with respect to stroke prevention. MPV was …
