Abstract
We would like to thank Murat Yuksel et al. [1] for their comments on our article [2]. They have asked if we consider that the elevated levels of mean platelet volume (MPV) and total white blood cell (WBC) count predict cardiovascular events in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients; therefore the WBC/MPV ratio (WMR) values may not be considered a good prognostication marker due to dividing WBC by MPV. Although they offered some comments regarding the association of inflammatory markers with ACS, they should focus more on MPV and total WBC count in non-ST elevation ACS (NSTE-ACS) instead of platelet and lymphocyte counts. Given their notions and those mentioned in our article, we propose some points in this letter. The prognostic role of MPV has been demonstrated among patients with myocardial infarction (MI) [3], however, f
