MPV may support early ACS risk stratification in acute chest pain; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before clinical adoption.
Does mean platelet volume (MPV) predict acute coronary syndrome in patients presenting with acute chest pain within 4 hours of onset?
Mean platelet volume is an early and independent predictor of acute coronary syndrome in patients presenting with acute chest pain.
