May support MPV/PC for post-PCI risk stratification in STEMI; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before clinical use.
Does a high MPV/PC ratio predict long-term adverse outcomes in patients with STEMI undergoing primary PCI?
The MPV/PC ratio is a better predictor than MPV alone for long-term adverse outcomes in patients with STEMI undergoing primary PCI.
