Abstract: 3172 Platelets have a predominant role in the pathogenesis of Acute Coronary Syndromes (ACS). It is believed that the mean platelet size, evaluated by the mean platelet volume (MPV), is a sensitive indicator of platelet reactivity and thrombogenicity potential. Many studies found association between the MPV and the ACS or the occurrence of Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI). The reasons for this are not well known, but may be due to platelet aggregation or consumption. The aim of t… Show more
