Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death in patients with diabetes.
Cardiovascular disease in diabetes is multifactorial, and control of the cardiovascular risk …

Although cardiologists have long treated patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and
concomitant type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), T2DM has traditionally been considered just a …

Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is the atherosclerosis of lower extremity arteries and is also
associated with atherothrombosis of other vascular beds, including the cardiovascular and …

Platelets are small anucleate cell fragments that circulate in blood playing crucial role in
managing vascular integrity and regulating hemostasis. Platelets are also involved in the …

Insulin resistance is a uniform finding in type 2 diabetes, as are abnormalities in the
microvascular and macrovascular circulations. These complications are associated with …

Platelet size correlates with platelet activity and can be assessed by platelet volume indices
(PVI). The PVI, mean platelet volume (MPV), is universally available with routine blood …

Cardiovascular disease, particularly coronary artery dis-ease resulting from accelerated
atherosclerosis, is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with diabetes …

Modern cell analyzers routinely produce platelet indices, but many clinicians do not utilize
them in clinical decision-making. In part this can be attributed to difficulties with their …

Background—The clinical impact of platelet aggregation assessed by point-of-care assays is
unknown. We sought to evaluate whether high residual platelet reactivity (RPR) to ADP …

Objectives: We sought to determine the prognostic value of mean platelet volume (MPV) for
angiographic reperfusion and six-month mortality in patients with acute ST-segment …
