0338: C-reactive protein and mean platelet volume/platelet count ratio as predictors of ischemic stroke after acute myocardial infarction

Conclusions This study describes predictive factors for IHS after AMI, with both higher short and long-term risk of death. At hospital admission, new biological parameters as high MPV/Platelet count ratio and high level of CRP might help to identify patients at increased risk of IHS. Moreover, these results provide new insights on the potential role played by increased inflammation and platelet reactivity underlying the occurrence of stroke after AMI. Abstract 0338 – Figure
