“…An increased PDW is an indication of the anisocytosis of platelets with a normal range for PDW of 9-14 fL [6]. PDW is considered a marker of platelet activation and a more specific parameter than MVP because it is not affected by simple platelet swelling [44,46]. Just like mean platelet volume (MPV); platelet distribution width (PDW) can be obtained by simple hematology analyzers.…”

Worldwide, the epidemiology of patients with STEMI continues to change. According to the Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE), STEMI represented about 36% of ACS cases [3]. There is no definitive data about the percentage of STEMI patients among those presenting to Emergency departments with Acute coronary syndromes (ACS) in Egyptian Hospitals. Natural History of atherosclerosis and the development of atherosclerotic plaqueAtherosclerosis is a lipoproteinmediated chronic inflammatory disease of arteries that leads to the accumulation of fibrotic, necrotic, and calcified tissue in the arterial intima, described as atherosclerotic lesions or plaques [4]. These plaques cause clinical disease by luminal narrowing or sudden precipitation of arterial thrombi that obstruct

“…In another study, increased PDW was related to the severity of CAD, assessed by the Gensini score, in patients presenting with ACS [48]. Moreover, it can be used as a useful prognostic factor for long-term mortality after AMI [32,46].…”
