Do immature platelet levels (IPF, IPC, MPV) aid in the diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome in patients presenting to the emergency department with chest pain?
Immature platelet levels (IPF, IPC, MPV) do not assist in the diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome in patients presenting to the emergency department with chest pain.
In 280 patients presenting to the ED with chest pain and/or suspected ACS, no differences in IPF, IPC or MPV were observed in ACS-negative vs. ACS-positive patients, suggesting that these parameters do not assist in the diagnosis of ACS.
Berny‐Lang et al. (Thu,) studied this question.
