Is elevated mean platelet volume associated with a worse outcome in patients with acute ischemic cerebrovascular events?
Our results indicate that an elevated MPV is associated with a worse outcome for acute ischemic cerebrovascular events independent of other clinical parameters.
Extracellular volume fraction imaging can quantitatively characterize myocardial infarction, atypical diffuse fibrosis, and subtle myocardial abnormalities not clinically apparent on LGE images. Taken within the context of prior literature, these subtle ECV abnormalities are consistent with diffuse fibrosis related to age and changes remote from infarction.
