Elevated MPV may flag higher post-CABG AF risk but should not change practice; observational data leave predictive utility open to prospective validation.
Does mean platelet volume predict new-onset atrial fibrillation in patients undergoing isolated CABG?
Elevated mean platelet volume and C-reactive protein are independent predictors of new-onset atrial fibrillation following isolated coronary artery bypass grafting.
Erdem et al. (2013) studied this question.
