Introduction:
Stroke is the second most common cause of death worldwide and is defined as
cell death due to interrupted or poor blood supply. It may be caused by a
blocked artery (ischemic stroke) or bursting of blood vessel (haemorrhagic
stroke). Compared to the United states where 100 cases of stroke are reported
annually per 100,000 population, the number is supposedly higher in south Asian
countries mounting to a global burden of 40% of stroke related deaths. In the
quest for an improved clinical approach and prognosis numerous platelet markers
have been investigated in connection with arterial thrombosis and inflammation
since platelets are known to play a crucial role in vascular pathologies. Mean
platelet volume (MPV), an important variable in this regard is now increasingly
being recognized for its clinical significance in both ischemic and haemorrhage
stroke. Platelets with larger volume tend to demonstrate increased aggregation
as compared to smaller platelets since they can both efficiently respond to and
produce chemoattractant cytokines. This new observation has extended the
appreciation of the link between stroke and elevated MPV
