Abstract:Impaired sympathovagal balance, the main pathophysiological mechanism under the vasovagal syncope (VVS), may play a role on platelet sizes. Although it has been shown that mean platelet volume (MPV) is increased in patients with vasovagal syncope, its nature in syncope subgroups is unknown. Herein, we aimed to compare MPV values among patients with different head-upright tilt-table (HUTT) test results. Patients who underwent HUTT test were analyzed retrospectively. Patients' demographic data and their complete… Show more
“…As a determinant of platelet function, MPV is a valuable prognostic marker in cardiovascular patients (19). Sympathetic activity plays a critical role in MPV through peripheral activation and spleen release or thrombocytopoiesis (20). Further, increased adrenaline levels also contribute to platelet release and platelet volume (21).…”
