Key result
Cigarette smoking was associated with a significantly higher mean platelet volume in patients with acute myocardial infarction compared to other groups (p < 0.05).
Why the study?
Does cigarette smoking increase mean platelet volume in patients with suspected acute coronary syndrome?
Population
298 adults with clinically suspected acute coronary syndrome admitted to a coronary care unit in India…
Comparison
Cigarette smoking (exposure) vs Non-smoking and non-MI controls

Does cigarette smoking increase mean platelet volume in patients with suspected acute coronary syndrome?
p-value: p=<0.05
Cigarette smoking is associated with increased mean platelet volume in patients with acute coronary syndrome, potentially contributing to accelerated atherosclerosis.
Kumar et al. (2017) conducted a case-control in Acute Coronary Syndrome / Myocardial Infarction (n=298). Cigarette smoking vs. Non-smokers was evaluated on Mean platelet volume (MPV) (p=<0.05). Cigarette smoking was associated with a significantly higher mean platelet volume in patients with acute myocardial infarction compared to other groups (p < 0.05).
