Aims Platelet indices have been associated with traditional cardiovascular risk factors,
cardiovascular diseases and all‐cause mortality. This study aimed to investigate the role of …

Heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is associated with high burden of
comorbidities known to increase the mean platelet volume (MPV). This parameter has been …

Background The prognostic impact of platelet distribution width (PDW), which is a specific
marker of platelet activation, has been unclear in patients with heart failure (HF). Methods …

Background: Inflammation has been suggested to play a role in heart failure (HF)
pathogenesis. However, the role of platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), as a novel biomarker …

Objectives We sought to determine whether platelet activity in patients with heart failure is
related to an ischemic versus nonischemic etiologic condition, clinical disease severity, or …

Background: Acute heart failure (AHF) triggers platelet aggregation and platelet markers are
associated with the severity of AHF. The present study aimed to investigate the prognostic …

Background Mean platelet volume (MPV) and platelet distribution width (PDW) are indices
that reflect platelet activity. We investigated the association between these platelet indices …

Identification of rapid, inexpensive, and reliable prognostic factors can improve survival
estimation and guide healthcare in patients with acute heart failure (AHF). In this study, we …

Background Studies suggest that thrombocytopaenia is associated with a higher mortality in
several diseases. Little is known about the effect of low platelet count on mortality in patients …

Background Platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) is an inflammation index suggested to have
the prognostic capability in heart failure (HF). We sought to investigate the association of …
