Prognostic implications of mean platelet volume on short- and long-term outcomes among patients with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction treated with percutaneous coronary intervention: A single-center large observational study
2016
AbstractBackground: Mean platelet volume (MPV) is a simple and reliable indicator of platelet size that correlates with platelet activation and their ability to aggregate. We studied the predictive value of MPV in patients with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).Methods: We analyzed the consecutive records of 1001 patients who were hospitalized due to NSTEMI at our center. The primary end point was a composite end point that included the rates of all-cause death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, and acute coronary syndrome (ACS) driven revascularization at 12 months. The enrolled patients were stratified according to the quartile of the MPV level at admission.Results: Along with the increasing quartile of MPV, the 12-month composite end point increased significantly (p = 0.010), and this association remained significant after the risk-adjusted analyses (per 1 fL higher MPV; adjusted hazard ratio [HR] 1.13; 95% confidence interval [...
