May support simpler MPC monitoring of platelet activation in ACS; leaves open whether it improves outcomes versus flow cytometry in PTCA.
Does Mean Platelet Component Concentration (MPC) correlate with P-selectin (CD62P) expression for assessing platelet activation in ACS patients undergoing PTCA?
The MPC parameter on an automated hematology system correlates well with flow cytometry for monitoring platelet activation and response to antiplatelet therapy in ACS patients.
