MPV links to subclinical damage in new hypertension but should not change practice; hypothesis-generating for longitudinal validation.
Does mean platelet volume correlate with subclinical target organ damage in newly diagnosed hypertensive patients?
Mean platelet volume is independently associated with subclinical target organ damage, including carotid atherosclerosis, left ventricular hypertrophy, and renal damage, in newly diagnosed hypertensive patients.
Yarlıoğlueş et al. (2010) studied this question.
