Material & Methods:Patients admitting to ICCU KIMS, HUBLI diagnosed as Acute Coronary Syndrome.The study included 156 patients admitted to ICCU KIMS Hubli who diagnosed as ACUTE CORONORY SYNDROME. Results:There wassignificant difference in the platelet indices betweenthe three groups. The platelet Indices -mean platelet volume, platelet distribution width and platicrit were significantly higher in STEMI and NSTEMI groups when compared to the USA group and severity of CAD more in patients who were having higher platelet indices. Conclusion:The platelet indices: mean platelet volume (MPV), platelet distribution width (PDW) and platecrit are significantly higher in STEMI and NSTEMI groups when compared to USA group.
