Oxidative stress is the result of the imbalance between reactive oxygen species (ROS)
formation and enzymatic and nonenzymatic antioxidants. Biomarkers of oxidative stress are …

An increased systemic and local inflammation plays a key role in the pathophysiology of
acute coronary syndrome (ACS). This review will discuss the role of hematological indices …

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 …

BACKGROUND: Stent thrombosis remains among the most feared complications of
percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stenting. However, data on its incidence and …

Background: Mean platelet volume (MPV) is a strong predictor of impaired angiographic
reperfusion and 6-month mortality in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (MI) treated with …

The role of platelets in regulating vascular homeostasis has expanded beyond mediation of
haemostasis and thrombosis. The discovery of platelet RNA and the presence of …

Platelets are small anucleated cells present only in mammals. Platelets mediate
intravascular hemostatic balance, prevent interstitial bleeding, and have a major role in …

Platelets are key players in atherothrombosis. Antiplatelet therapy comprising aspirin alone
or with P2Y 12-inhibitors are effective for prevention of atherothrombotic complications …

Major advances in coronary interventional techniques and pharmacotherapy as well as the
use of drug-eluting stents (DESs) have considerably reduced the risk of in-stent restenosis …

Background: Interventional pain management is a specialty that utilizes invasive procedures
to diagnose and treat chronic pain. Patients undergoing these treatments may be receiving …
