Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Nursing and health Science - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 3
Abstract
Introduction: Platelet activation and aggregation play a role in the pathophysiology of coronary heart disease. Platelet plays an important role in contributing to thrombus formation after coronary plaque rupture. In addition, platelets also play a role in the formation of atherosclerotic plaques. Mean Platelet Volume (MPV) is an index of platelet size that can be correlated with the functional status of platelets. In patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), increased MPV is associated with a degree of coronary artery disease lesion.Aim:To know the association of MPV with degree of coronary artery lesion so that MPV can be used as a marker to estimate the severity of coronary artery lesions in ACS patients.Methods: A cross sectional study of 50 patients with SKA. MPV examination of routine blood and vessel score assessment of angiography was performed. The study was conducted in RSUP. H. Adam Malik Medan. Analysis using Chi Square.Results: Mean of MPV content in this study is 10.15 ± 0.798 fl. Chi-square statistical test between MPV and vessel score (p = 0,068).Conclusion: There was no significant association between MPV levels and the number of coronary artery lesions described by Vessel score.
