Correlation of platelet distribution width (PDW) with troponin I based on the onset of chest pain in acute myocardial infarction

Abstract

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is caused by narrowing of the coronary arteries. In the event of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), there will be an increase in heart markers. Several studies have examined the relationship between Platelet Distribution Width (PDW) and AMI, but there is no specific correlation with troponin as the most sensitive and specific cardiac biomarker for AMI. This study aims to see the correlation PDW values with troponin I based on the onsite of chest pain in patients with AMI. This study was a cross-sectional method to determine the correlation between PDW values and troponin I based on the onsite of chest pain in AMI patients. I. In this study, the sample consisted of 64 people. There is a moderate correlation between PDW and troponin I (r2= 0.72, p
