Özet
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: 134 young patients, males aged <45 years and females aged <55 years; group 2: 239 older patients) and 141 adults with normal coronary angiography as a control group (group 3). In group 1, the levels of MPV and hemoglobin were higher than that in groups 2 and 3. In group 1, blood urea nitrogen levels were lower than that in groups 2 and 3 and creatinine levels were lower than that in group 2. After multivariate analysis, MPV and age were independent predictors of AMI in young patients. © The Author(s) 2012.
