The incidence of thromboembolism is higher in mitral regurgitation. Mean platelet volume
(MPV), which is calculated automatically in the complete blood count tests, indicates platelet …

Objective: Although the role of platelet activation has been debated in patients with mitral
stenosis (MS) and spontaneous echocardiographic contrast (SEC), data on differences in …

Background and aim: The aim of this study was to investigate mean platelet volume (MPV) in
patients with rheumatic mitral stenosis (RMS) and to define the determinants of a possible …

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 …

BACKGROUNDS: Systemic embolism is an important complication in patients with
rheumatic mitral stenosis (RMS). The mean platelet volume (MPV) is considered a marker …

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

Introduction: Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) is a relatively common cause of mortality
among patients in the developing countries, and pure mitral valve failure is the most …

The mean platelet volume (MPV) values reflect platelet size and are accepted as marker of
platelet activation. We sought to test the hypothesis that platelet activation occurs …

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 …

Systemic thromboembolism is a serious major complication in patients with mitral stenosis.
However, the pathogenesis of thromboembolism in mitral stenosis is not fully understood …
