Abstract
Although mean platelet volume (MPV) is an independent correlate of impaired angiographic reperfusion and 6-month mortality in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI), there is less data regarding the association between platelet distribution width (PDW) and in-hospital major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs). A total of 306 patients with STEMI pPCI were evaluated. No reflow was defined as a post-PCI thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) flow grade of 0, 1, or 2 (group 1). Angiographic success was defined as TIMI flow grade 3 (group 2). The values of MPV and PDW were higher among patients with no reflow. In-stent thrombosis, nonfatal myocardial infarction, in-hospital mortality, and MACEs were significantly more frequent among patients with no reflow. In multivariate analysis, PDW, MPV, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, and glucose on admission were independent correlates of in-hospital MACEs. Admission PDW and MPV are independent correlates of no reflow and in-hospital MACEs among patients with STEMI undergoing pPCI.
