Does elevated postprocedural mean platelet volume predict 1-year major cardiac outcomes in patients with STEMI after PCI?
Elevated postprocedural mean platelet volume (>9.9 fl) is an independent predictor of 1-year major cardiac outcomes in patients with STEMI undergoing PCI.
Lang et al. (2015) studied this question.
