Mean Platelet Volume as Prognostic Marker in Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome

Background: Mean platelet volume (MPV) has been described as a predictor of cardiovascular events in patients with acute coronary syndrome. However, there is limited evidence of its role as prognostic marker in elderly patients. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate whether MPV is an in...

Zusammenfassung:	Background: Mean platelet volume (MPV) has been described as a predictor of cardiovascular events in patients with acute coronary syndrome. However, there is limited evidence of its role as prognostic marker in elderly patients. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate whether MPV is an independent predictor of events during follow-up of patients over 65 years of age with acute coronary syndrome. Methods: This prospective study included patients over 65 years with ST-segment elevation or non ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome. They were divided into two groups: high MPV (10.9 fL- 3rd tertile) and low MPV (
