Özet
Dear Editor,
We have read the article published by De Luca et al. [1] with great interest. In their report, they have investigated the possible association of mean platelet volume (MPV) with coronary artery disease (CAD) in a very large consecutive cohort of patients undergoing coronary angiography. Briefly, they have used the number of diseased vessels as a measure of extent of CAD and carotid intima-media thickness to assess the relation between atherosclerosis and MPV. It has been concluded out that MPV is not related to the extent of CAD, carotid intima-media thickness and cannot be considered as a risk factor for CAD. Additionally no relationship has been observed between MPV and platelet aggregation in a subgroup of patients.
