“…Recently, the relationship between MPV and infarct size (percentage with respect to the total myocardial mass) in STEMI patients was reported (53). There are no reports of a significant association between peak hsCRP level or MPV and infarct transmurality in STEMI patients who underwent primary PCI.…”

“…Circulating platelets are heterogeneous in size, density and reactivity [1,2], and changes in these variables are important for the development of acute coronary syndromes [3]. There is strong evidence indicating that the corpuscular volume of the platelets, also know as mean platelet volume (MPV), is an important variable in predicting systemic inflammation and the thrombotic potential of the blood [4].…”
