Why the study?

Larger platelets carry a higher risk of thrombosis, suggesting mean platelet volume measurement could predict the risk of developing acute coronary syndrome.

Is Mean Platelet Volume (MPV) higher in patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome compared to non-ACS patients presenting with chest pain?

Population

Patients presenting with chest pain without known ACS at Sree Balaji Medical College and Hospital

Comparison

ACS (STEMI and NSTEMI) vs non-ACS control patients

Discussion

Implication

MPV may flag higher CAD thrombosis risk; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before any clinical role.

Key Points

To assess whether mean platelet volume can serve as a risk indicator for acute coronary syndrome and differentiate between its subtypes.
Assessed patients presenting with chest pain to an emergency and outpatient department, excluding known cases of acute coronary syndrome.
Collected venous blood samples prior to treatment initiation to measure troponin I and platelet volume indices across non-ACS controls, STEMI, and NSTEMI cohorts.
Mean platelet volume was significantly higher in patients with acute coronary syndrome (9.716 ± 0.829) than in control patients (8.730 ± 0.840, P < 0.05).
Patients diagnosed with STEMI demonstrated significantly higher mean platelet volume values compared to those with NSTEMI (9.98 ± 0.675 vs. 9.412 ± 0.896, P < 0.05).

Structured PICO

Is Mean Platelet Volume (MPV) higher in patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome compared to non-ACS patients presenting with chest pain?

Population

Patients presenting to the Emergency Department and Outpatient Department of Sree Balaji Medical College and Hospital with chest pain who are not a known case of Acute Coronary Syndrome.

Intervention

Mean Platelet Volume (MPV) measurement at the time of arrival

Comparator

Non-ACS patients presenting with chest pain (control group)

Outcome

Mean Platelet Volume (MPV) values in ACS vs Non-ACS patients, and STEMI vs NSTEMI patientssurrogate

Mean platelet volume is significantly elevated in patients with acute coronary syndrome, particularly STEMI, suggesting its potential utility as an early predictive biomarker.
