Key result
Mean Platelet Volume was higher in patients with STEMI (9.38 fL) compared to NSTEMI (8.52 fL), but this difference was not statistically significant (p=0.091).
Why the study?
Increased mean platelet volume reflects larger, more reactive platelets that accelerate intracoronary thrombus formation, prompting evaluation of its increase in STEMI and NSTEMI to aid diagnosis and treatment decisions.

Is Mean Platelet Volume (MPV) higher in patients with STEMI compared to NSTEMI?
Absolute Event Rate: 9.38% vs 8.52%
p-value: p=0.091
Mean platelet volume tends to be higher in STEMI compared to NSTEMI patients, though the difference did not reach statistical significance in this small cohort.
Ratnaningsih et al. (2020) conducted a cross-sectional in Acute Coronary Syndromes (STEMI and NSTEMI) (n=34). ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) vs. Non-ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI) was evaluated on Mean Platelet Volume (MPV) (p=0.091). Mean Platelet Volume was higher in patients with STEMI (9.38 fL) compared to NSTEMI (8.52 fL), but this difference was not statistically significant (p=0.091).
