Key result
Higher mean platelet volume is linked to greater angiographic CAD severity.
Why the study?
Is mean platelet volume associated with the angiographic severity of coronary artery disease?
Cross-Sectional (n=435)
Outcome assessors blinded
No
Is mean platelet volume associated with the angiographic severity of coronary artery disease?
Effect estimate: r = 0.290
Absolute Event Rate: 9.3% vs 8.4%
p-value: p=<0.001
Mean platelet volume is positively correlated with the angiographic severity and complexity of coronary artery disease as measured by Gensini and SYNTAX scores.

MPV was associated with angiographic CAD severity; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Ekici et al. (2013) conducted a cross-sectional in Coronary artery disease (n=435). Mean platelet volume vs. Normal coronary arteries (Gensini score 0) was evaluated on Correlation between mean platelet volume and angiographic severity of CAD (Gensini score) (r = 0.290, p=<0.001). Higher mean platelet volume was significantly correlated with greater angiographic severity of coronary artery disease as measured by the Gensini score (r = 0.290, p < 0.001).
