Despite the well-recognized role of platelets in the pathogenesis of acute myocardial
infarction (AMI) and in the vascular responses to angioplasty, the relation between platelet …

Background: Mean platelet volume (MPV) is a strong predictor of impaired angiographic
reperfusion and 6-month mortality in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (MI) treated with …

Aims We investigated the incidence, predictors, and prognostic impact of a decline in
platelet count (DPC) in patients treated by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) …

Platelets play an important role in the development of major adverse cardiac events (MACE)
following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The impact of platelet count on the …

Objectives: We sought to determine the prognostic value of mean platelet volume (MPV) for
angiographic reperfusion and six-month mortality in patients with acute ST-segment …

BACKGROUND: Expanding the knowledge of pathogenesis of arteriosclerosis points at a
central role of platelets in the development of acute coronary syndromes. Therefore, we …

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

Background—The relationship between white blood cell count (WBCc) and mortality in
patients with ST-segment–elevation acute myocardial infarction treated with percutaneous …

Platelet activation and aggregation play pivotal roles in the thrombotic process of acute
coronary syndromes. However, data regarding platelet count and its association with clinical …

Background Acquired thrombocytopenia (TP) has been associated with short-and long-term
adverse outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), but the role of baseline …
