This study demonstrates that mean platelet volume (MPV) levels decrease after radioiodine (RAI) ablation therapy in hyperthyroid\npatients. Regarding the fact that large platelets are hemostatically more active, we suggest that hyperthyroid patients are at risk\nof cardiovascular disease despite all other cardiovascular risk factors. After RAI ablation therapy as MPV levels return to normal,\ncardiovascular risk for hyperthyroid patients reduces.
