Mean Platelet Volume Variability in young patients with Non-ST elevation Acute Myocardial Infarction
INTRODUCTION Platelet activation plays an important role in the pathophysiology of non-ST elevation acute coronary syndromes (ACS). Mean platelet volume (MPV), an indicator of platelet reactivity, was previously associated with an increased risk of acute coronary events. OBJECTIVE To investigate the MPV variability in young patients presenting with NSTEMI, as compared to young patients with c...
متن کاملComparison of Mean Platelet Volume in Acute Myocardial Infarction vs. Normal Coronary Angiography.
Considering the importance of cardiovascular disease and the role that platelets have in thrombosis formation in the coronary arteries, this study was done in order to assess platelet-related indices in patients who suffered acute myocardial infarction (MI) and compare them with those who had normal coronary angiography results.In this descriptive-analytical study, 200 patients who were admitte...
متن کاملComparing the Mean Age of Acute Myocardial Infarction Occurrance in 1989 and 1999
Abstract Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is the leading cause of death in most countries. With the advent of modern coronary care units CCU during the last decades particularly since 1960, the thrombolytic therapy and interventional techniques including angioplasty; the mortality of AMI has decreased significantly. Moreover the vigilant approach towards diagnosis and control of risk factors ...
متن کاملMagnetic Resonance Imaging Predicts Cardiovascular Outcomes after Acute Myocardial Infarction
Background: Existing data assessing the prognostic value of contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (ce-CMR) after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) are limited by short followup duration and small cohort sizes. We sought to determine if infarct size and ejection fraction (EF) predict the occurrence of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) after AMI. Methods: We studied 112 patients (mean ag...
متن کاملMean platelet volume in ST elevation and non-ST elevation myocardial infarction
Platelet activation is thought to play a key pathogenetic mechanism in acute coronary syndromes. We investigated the mean platelet volume and platelet count in patients with both ST elevation myocardial infarction and non-ST elevation myocardial infarction. Fifty two patients with non-ST elevation myocardial infarction and 56 patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction were enrolled in the...
