Key result
Acute coronary syndrome was associated with a significantly higher mean platelet volume (7.70 fl vs 6.64 fl) and lower platelet count compared to healthy controls (P<0.0001).

Higher mean platelet volume and lower platelet count are associated with acute coronary syndrome and may serve as simple adjunctive diagnostic markers.
Gargi et al. (2018) conducted a case-control in Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) (n=200). Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) vs. Healthy controls was evaluated on Mean platelet volume (MPV) (p=<0.0001). Acute coronary syndrome was associated with a significantly higher mean platelet volume (7.70 fl vs 6.64 fl) and lower platelet count compared to healthy controls (P<0.0001).
