Why the study?
Is mean platelet volume associated with left atrial thrombus in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation?
Is mean platelet volume associated with left atrial thrombus in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation?
Mean platelet volume is not associated with the presence of left atrial thrombus in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation, whereas low ejection fraction is a significant predictor.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
MPV should not inform left atrial thrombus risk assessment in persistent AF; leaves open whether low ejection fraction predicts thrombus in prospective cohorts.
Yüce et al. (2010) studied this question.
