Popis: OBJECTIVE Morning blood pressure surge (MBPS) is an independent predictor of atherothrombotic cardiovascular events in hypertensive patients. There is evidence from studies supporting the validity of mean platelet volume (MPV) as a marker of vascular risk and predictor of thrombotic complications. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between MPV and MBPS in hypertensive patients. METHODS Measurements were obtained from 298 patients with newly diagnosed essential hypertension (Mean age: 51.9 ± 11.7 years). The patients were divided into two groups (MPV(low) group
