Diagnostic Performance of Circulating miRNAs and Extracellular Vesicles in Acute Ischemic Stroke.

Combining different biomarkers of processes underlying IS pathophysiology might be beneficial for early diagnosis of ischemic events. Thus, we believe that in the future circulating biomarkers might be used in the prehospital phase of IS. In particular, circulating plasma EVs and non-coding RNAs including miRNAs are interesting candidates as bearers of circulating biomarkers due to their high stability in the blood and making them highly relevant biomarkers for IS diagnostics.
