All patients received dual antiplatelet therapy and high-intensity statins. The baseline evaluation included a complete blood count, serum ferritin, and C-reactive protein. MMR was calculated as the ratio of mean platelet volume to absolute monocyte count. Patients were followed for 12 months for the occurrence of MACE, defined as cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, urgent revascularization, stroke, or hospitalization for heart failure.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      During follow-up, 103 patients (60.6%) experienced MACE.
