The dyslipidemia is a risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Ischemic heart disease is the leading cause of death world wide. Platelet volume reflects platelet reactivity and has been suggested as an independent risk factor for ischemic events in cardiovascular disease. We have shown preliminary results on production of larger platelets by Mean Platelets Volume (MPV) and Platelets Distribution Width (PDW) determination in a group of patients with lipid profile abnormalities.
