Background: The role of platelets in the pathophysiology of acute coronary syndromes (ACS) is undeniable, but precise relationships between platelet activity and treatment outcomes are a matter of continuant investigation. Among platelet indices, mean platelet volume (MPV) has proven to be a valuable predicting factor in cardiac patients. However, platelet distribution width (PDW) is reported to be a more specific marker of platelet reactivity. Thus, application of PDW in risk stratification of ACS treatment is an up-to-date subject of research. PDW values in the assessment of left ventricular (LV) function have not been previously studied. Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate whether admission PDW can predict LV systolic function in...
