Some studies suggest that mean platelet volume (MPV) correlates with increased risk for
cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. In this study, we aim to assess reproducibility, need …

Several hundreds of studies recently investigated mean platelet volume (MPV) as measured
by electronic cell counters in a wide variety of acquired diseases, and most of them found …

Background: Platelets are important in the initiation of thrombosis, and their morphological
and functional changes are closely related with the occurrence and development of …

Background and Purpose—The increased risk of stroke and thromboembolism in atrial
fibrillation (AF) may be related to a prothrombotic or hypercoagulable state, with …

BACKGROUND: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with a prothrombotic state. The aim of
this study was to analyze platelet activation and tissue factor (TF) induction in mononuclear …

Both chronic nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (AF) and hypertension are common cardiovascular
conditions that are independently associated with an increased risk of stroke. 1, 2 However …

Background: Extensive research has been performed regarding the association between
platelet activity indices and various cardiovascular disorders. Less clear data, however, are …

Objective The present study aimed to evaluate the relationship between all-cause mortality
and the neutrophil percentage-to-albumin ratio (NPAR) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) …

Background We investigated whether an increase in the value of red cell distribution width
(RDW) was associated with thromboembolic outcomes in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) …

Mean platelet volume (MPV) is an indicator of platelet activation. We investigated the acute
effect of passive smoking on MPV in healthy volunteers. Healthy nonsmoker volunteers (n …
