Why the study?
Does mean platelet volume predict stroke or transient ischemic attack in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation?
Does mean platelet volume predict stroke or transient ischemic attack in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation?
Elevated mean platelet volume is associated with a history of stroke or TIA in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, suggesting its potential utility as an adjunctive risk stratification marker alongside the CHA2DS2VASc score.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Does not support routine MPV use for stroke risk assessment in paroxysmal AF; leaves open its adjunctive value to CHA2DS2-VASc.
Bayar et al. (2015) studied this question.
