Predictive role of mean platelet volume in ischemic stroke / 国际脑血管病杂志

ABSTRACT

Circulating platelets are heterogeneous in size,particle density,and reactivity.Studies have shown that the mean platelet volume (MPV) is a marker of platelet activity and a risk factor for cardiovascular disease.Increased MPV is associated with ischemic stroke.This article reviews the predictive role of MPV in patients with ischemic stroke.
