Platelets are essential for progression of atherosclerotic lesions, plaque destabilization, and
thrombosis. They secrete and express many substances that are crucial mediators of …

Background: Despite recent advances in interventional equipment and techniques, the
angiographic no-reflow phenomenon occurs in a considerable number of patients …

Objective To evaluate the predictive value of the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), mean
platelet volume (MPV), and platelet distribution width (PDW) for the no-reflow phenomenon …

Background Mean platelet volume (MPV) was proved to be a reliable prognostic factor in
cardiac patients. However, platelet distribution width (PDW) was disclosed to be more …

It is established that hyperglycemia directly effects the platelet functions and fibrin structure.
In this study, we aimed to investigate the predictive value of hyperglycemia on thrombus …

Introduction Mean platelet volume (MPV) is a measure of platelet size and activity. We
conducted a population study with National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey …

Aim: We investigated the association between platelet indices and the severity of coronary
artery disease (CAD) in patients with ST-segment–elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) …

The incidence of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) increases in the range from patients
with unstable angina to ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Platelet …

No-reflow and platelet reactivity in diabetic patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial
infarction: is there a link? Page 1 326 Advances in Interventional Cardiology 2017; 13, 4 (50) …

Ocluzia totală cronică coronariană (CTO) este cauzată de trombi organizaţi sau de progresia
plăcilor aterosclerotice. Prezenţa unei CTO este un predictor independent pentru mortalitate …
