Key result
Mean platelet volume was significantly higher in patients with acute myocardial infarction (9.65 fl) compared to those with stable coronary artery disease (9.37 fl) and healthy controls (9.21 fl).

Is mean platelet volume associated with acute myocardial infarction and stable coronary artery disease?
Absolute Event Rate: 9.65% vs 9.21%

Mean platelet volume is significantly higher in patients with acute myocardial infarction compared to stable CAD and controls, suggesting its potential utility as a risk marker.
Khode et al. (2012) conducted a case-control in Acute myocardial infarction and stable coronary artery disease (n=128). Acute myocardial infarction vs. Stable coronary artery disease and healthy controls was evaluated on Mean platelet volume (p=0.025). Mean platelet volume was significantly higher in patients with acute myocardial infarction (9.65 fl) compared to those with stable coronary artery disease (9.37 fl) and healthy controls (9.21 fl).
