Increased mean platelet volume is associated with coronary artery ectasia
AIM The present study was designed to investigate mean platelet volume (MPV) values in coronary artery ectasia (CAE) patients in comparison with individuals with coronary artery disease and normal coronary angiograms. MATERIAL AND METHODS Patients with stable angina pectoris and scheduled for angiography were included in the study. Those with isolated coronary ectasia were evaluated in the co...
متن کاملLower than normal mean platelet volume is associated with reduced extent of coronary artery disease.
BACKGROUND Extent of atherosclerotic coronary artery disease in patients with stable angina has important prognostic and therapeutic implications. In current models of plaque evolution, thrombocytes play an important role in plaque growth. Mean platelet volume is a readily obtainable marker that was shown to correlate with platelet aggregability in vitro and increased values were demonstrated a...
متن کاملIs mean platelet volume associated with the angiographic severity of coronary artery disease?
BACKGROUND Platelet activation and aggregation play key roles both in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and in the developmentof acute thrombotic events. Platelet volume is a marker of platelet activation and function, and is measured usingmean platelet volume (MPV). AIM To determine the relationship between MPV and angiographic Gensini and SYNTAX scores, which give information about the se...
متن کاملIs there a relationship between mean platelet volume and the severity of coronary ectasia?
Mean platelet volume (MPV) is an indicator of platelet activation that is elevated in patients with coronary artery ectasia (CAE). We aimed to research relationship between MPV and the severity of coronary ectasia. The reports of 6,377 patients who underwent elective coronary angiography screening between January 2011 and January 2015 were reviewed. After exclusion, 117 patients with isolated C...
متن کاملIs mean platelet volume increased in behcet's disease with thrombosis?
Dear the Editor, We have been interested in the mean platelet volume (MPV) measured by automated cell analyzer and were studying on the correlation between MPVs and various diseases (Lee and Kim 2010a, 2010b, 2010c). In the meanwhile, we read the article by Acikgoz and colleagues on the increased MPV in Behcet’s disease (BD) with thrombotic tendency (Acikgoz et al. 2010). In this article, the a...
