Do admission platelet volume indices (MPV and PDW) predict no reflow and in-hospital MACEs in patients with STEMI undergoing primary PCI?
Admission platelet distribution width and mean platelet volume are independent predictors of no reflow and in-hospital MACEs in STEMI patients undergoing primary PCI.
