Article Synopsis
- Clopidogrel therapy is essential for patients with acute coronary syndrome, but 25% are nonresponders, leading to potential adverse outcomes.
- In a study of 185 patients, a higher mean platelet volume (MPV) was observed in nonresponders, indicating a relationship between MPV and clopidogrel effectiveness.
- The study identified an MPV cut-off value of 8.3 fL that may help predict clopidogrel nonresponsiveness, highlighting MPV's potential as a diagnostic tool in clinical practice.
