Relationship Between Mean Platelet Volume and Atherosclerosis in Young Patients With ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction

Increased mean platelet volume (MPV) is associated with poor clinical outcome in patients with acute coronary syndrome. We evaluated the predictive role of MPV in young patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). This study includes 373 patients who presented to our hospital with AMI (group 1:...
