Abstract

ABSTRACT:

OBJECTIVES: To find out the diagnostic role of platelet indices in newly diagnosed patients of myocardial infarction and compare it with normal individuals.

METHODS: The platelet indices were measured in 100 newly diagnosed patients of myocardial infarction admitted in cardiology unit, Lady Reading Hospital (LRH) Peshawar, Pakistan and were compared with 100 normal subjects.  Two milliliter of venous blood of each subject was collected in K3-EDTA tubes. Platelet indices were assayed by using Sysmex KX-21, Japan auto-analyzer in clinical laboratory of LRH within 10-20 minutes of collection of blood. The data was analyzed by using SPSS version 20.

RESULTS: There were 85 males and 15 females in cases and 75 males and 25 females in control group. The mean ages in cases and control group were 50.87+11.02 47.31+12.09 respectively. Platelets count was significantly decreased by 19.93% (p<0.05) to 233 x109/L in patients as compared to controls where it was 291.27x109/L. Mean platelets volume (MPV) was significantly increased by 19.38% (p<0.05) 10.99+1.34fl in cases as compared to control where it was 9.21+0.98 fl. Platelets distribution width was also increased by 14.64% (p<0.05) and was 14.17+2.14fl in cases as compared to 12.36+1.86fl in controls. Platelets large cell ratio was also increased by 24.03% (p<0.05) and was 28.21+7.84% in cases as compared to 22.83+6.85% in controls. The same results were found when platelet indices were compared separately in males and females.

CONCLUSION: Platelet count was decreased whereas rest of the platelet indices were significantly raised in newly diagnosed cases of myocardial infarction.

KEYWORDS: Myocardial Infarction (MeSH), Platelet Count (MeSH), Mean Platelet Volume (MeSH).
