Abstract: Stroke is a major healthcare issue worldwide with an incidence comparable to coronary events, highlighting the importance of understanding risk factors for stroke and subsequent mortality. Stroke is the third most common cause of death in developed nations after ischemic heart disease and cancer1. The prevalence rate of stroke in India is about 1.54 per 1000 and death rate 0.6 per 1000. Advanced age, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, smoking and atrial fibrillation have been found to be risk factors for stroke and relevant mortality in prospective studies .According to World Health Organization (WHO), about 15 million people suffer stroke worldwide every year2. Of these 5 million die and 5 million are permanently disabled. Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is one of the most devastating diseases; it remains a significant health and social issue
