Abstract:
A Stroke or cerebrovascular accident (CVA) is defined by the abrupt onset of
neurological deficit that is attributable to a focal vascular cause.
Because of the rise in the number of ageing population, the burden of stroke is
likely to increase automatically in the near future. Mean platelet volume, a marker
(and possibly a determinant) of platelet function is a physiological variable of
haemostatic importance, as well as platelet count, are an index of haemostasis.
Changes in MPV play a more important role in haemostasis than platelet count. very
few studies has looked at the association between platelet size and ischaemic stroke
