Abstract

Background: Platelets play a pivotal role in both hemostasis and thrombosis. Mean platelet volume (MPV) is a measure of the average size of your platelets. Mean platelet volume (MPV) has been found to be an independent risk factor in western populations and also from Indian Data. Aims: To investigate whether there is association between Mean Platelet Volume (MPV) and Cardiac Troponins (C Tn I ) in patients admitted with suspected case of Myocardial infarction. To Assess the potential efficiency of MPV in the diagnostic workup of Myocardial infarction. Methodology: 100 patients admitted in SDM Medical College and Hospital casualty and CCU of Narayana Hrudayala were included in this study after taking informed consent. Results: In our study, we found that only 5 % of patients has MPV Value more than 11.5 out of 100 patients, 20 % of patients has MPV value more than 10. It is observed that it MPV is higher in males with mean value of 9.27 compared to females which is 8.946.where as Troponin-I is higher in females with mean value 5.089 in comparison with females which is 5.303. Conclusion: Mean platelet volume (MPV) has been found to be an independent risk factor in western populations and also from Indian Data. Hence we thought it appropriate to look at this parameter in Indian patients with history of MI or CAD.
