Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the significance of mean platelet volume (MPV) and MPV-to-lymphocyte ratio (MPVLR) in diagnosing and predicting outcomes in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) among Indian patients, as this area hasn't been thoroughly explored.
- Conducted from 2020 to 2022 with 110 ACS cases and matched controls, the research revealed that both MPV and MPVLR levels were significantly higher in ACS patients compared to controls and correlated with the severity of ACS and hospital outcomes.
- The findings suggest that while MPV and MPVLR could help differentiate between cardiac and noncardiac chest pain in clinical settings, MPV is a more reliable predictor of inhospital mortality than MPVLR.
