Correlation of platelet indices with TIMI frame count in patients undergoing primary PCI due to ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction

Abstract

Introduction: Given the fundamental role of platelet indices in the development of atherosclerotic plaque, these indices may play a predictive role for the occurrence of disturbed coronary reperfusion. The present study evaluated the association between platelet indices and coronary reperfusion status based on the Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) frame count.
