Key result
The association between platelet distribution width and the severity of coronary artery disease was explored in 1,043 patients with acute coronary syndrome, though specific results were not reported.

Angelo Roncalli Ramalho Sampaio (2025) conducted a cohort in Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) (n=1,043). Platelet distribution width (PDW) > 11.8 fL vs. Platelet distribution width (PDW) ≤ 11.8 fL was evaluated on Severity and extent of coronary artery disease (CAD). The association between platelet distribution width and the severity of coronary artery disease was explored in 1,043 patients with acute coronary syndrome, though specific results were not reported.
