Research has shown that mean platelet volume (MPV) is a potential marker for platelet activation and a key factor in the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis. Recently, the ratio of monocyte count to HDL (MHR) has been identified as a predictor of cardiovascular events in patients. In the light of these findings, the goal of this study was to evaluate the potential association of MPV and MHR with the severity of CAD. Material-Method The patients were divided into three groups: CAD≥ 60% (40 patients), CAD Results MPV and MHR levels were lower in the control group than CAD Conclusion In our study, a potential relationship between MPV and MHR with carotid artery disease was determined. Our study may make contributions to understanding the pathophysiology of carotid artery atherosclerosis and developing treatments for it. |
