MPV/Plt ratio associated with re-infarction but not mortality in STEMI; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before clinical use.
Does a high admission MPV/Plt ratio predict major adverse cardiac events in STEMI patients undergoing primary PCI?
Admission MPV/Plt ratio is associated with one-year non-fatal re-infarction but does not predict short- or long-term cardiovascular mortality in STEMI patients undergoing primary PCI.
