Mean platelet volume as a predictor of cardiovascular risk: a systematic review and meta‐analysis
Abstract
AIM: To determine whether an association exists between mean platelet volume (MPV) and acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and other cardiovascular events. Platelet activity is a major culprit in atherothrombotic events. MPV, which is widely available in clinical practice, is a potentially useful biomarker of platelet activity in the setting of cardiovascular disease.
METHODS AND RESULTS: We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis …
