Blood markers may predict heart attack severity
NCT ID NCT07149883
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether two blood markers – mean platelet volume (MPV) and the systemic inflammatory response index (SIRI) – can help diagnose and predict outcomes in people with acute coronary syndrome (heart attack or unstable angina). Researchers will measure these markers in 300 adults admitted within 24 hours of symptoms. The goal is to see if these simple tests can aid doctors in assessing heart risk.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a simple blood test to help doctors diagnose and predict outcomes in heart attack patients.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early observational study, not a treatment trial. The markers may not prove reliable enough for routine use.

Who is studied
Acute coronary syndrome (ACS), which includes unstable angina, non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), and ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), is a leading cause of hospitalization and death globally【1】. The pathophysiology of ACS involves plaque rupture, platelet activation, thrombus formation, and a significant inflammatory component【2】. Early diagnosis and accurate risk stratification are critical for improving patient outcomes and guiding therapy. Mean Platelet Volume (MPV) is a simple, cost-effective parameter obtained from the complete blood count. It reflects platelet size and activity-larger platelets are more reactive and thrombogenic. Studies have demonstrated that MPV is elevated in patients with ACS and may correlate with infarct size and poor prognosis【3,4】. The systemic inflammatory response plays a pivotal role in the destabilization of atherosclerotic plaques. Recently, novel inflammatory indices such as the Systemic Inflammatory Response Index (SIRI)-
