Mean Platelet Volume on Admission Predicts Impaired Reperfusion and Long-Term Mortality in Acute Myocardial Infarction Treated With Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

Mean platelet volume is a strong, independent predictor of impaired angiographic reperfusion and six-month mortality in STEMI treated with primary PCI. Apart from prognostic value, admission MPV may also carry further practical, therapeutic implications.
