Background. Rheumatic mitral stenosis (RMS) is associated with increased thromboembolic
event, especially in the presence of concomitant atrial fibrillation. In addition, increased …

This study was conducted to compare the MPV in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM),
impaired fasting glucose (IFG), and non-diabetic controls and its relation to thrombotic …

Increased platelet activity is associated with adverse cardiovascular events. The mean
platelet volume (MPV) correlates with platelet activity; however, the relation between the …

We take the opportunity to respond here to the comments of Beyan & Beyan [1] on our recent
work examining incident associations of platelet aggregation phenotypes with venous …

We read the article 'Relationship between mean platelet volume and mitral annular
calcification'written by Varol et al.[1] with a great interest. They have shown that mean …

We have read the article published in the Anatolian Journal of Cardiology by Açıkgöz et
al.(1) with a great interest. They investigated mean platelet volume (MPV) in patients with …

Markers of platelet activity (P-selectin), fibrinolysis (d-dimer), thrombin activity (prothrombin

Background Although the association between mitral stenosis (MS) and increased
coagulation activity is well recognized, it is unclear whether enhanced coagulation remains …

βTG, PF4, FPA (all measured by RIA), platelet counts and LDH were determined in 17
patients with PO bioprostheses and 23 patients with PR heart valves. All patients with PR …

A study was conducted of hemostatic changes in 15 patients with mild-to-moderate
rheumatic mitral stenosis who underwent percutaneous mitral balloon valvuloplasty (PMV) …
