Aim. To stratify the patients with unstable angina (UA) by the levels of long-term (12 month) risk of repeat coronary events. Material and methods. The study included 180 UA patients, who were divided into two groups: with or without adverse outcomes (death, myocardial infarction, recurrent UA, urgent myocardial revascularisation, life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias and blockades) during the follow-up period. The levels of biomarkers of UA pathogenesis were also measured. Results. Independent risk predictors included mean platelet volume (MPV), fibrinogen, and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). The risk of adverse UA outcomes in patients with MPV levels
