High-sensitivity C-reactive protein and mean platelet volume as predictive values after percutaneous coronary intervention for long-term clinical outcomes: a comparable and additive study.

This study was designed to establish the relationship of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) and mean platelet volume (MPV) with the development of adverse outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). hsCRP levels and MPV were analysed in 372 patients who underwent PCI, with the primary endpoint as major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE): a composite of cardiac death, myocardial infarction (MI), target vessel revascularization (TVR), ischemic stroke and stent thrombosis. During the follow-up period (mean, 25.
