Abstract

Despite the substantial improvement in diagnosis and treatment within the last decades, ischemic stroke still represents a challenge, responsible still for a high burden of morbidity and mortality. Among the unmet clinical needs are the difficulties in identifying those subjects with the greatest risk of developing a stroke, the challenges in obtaining a timely diagnosis, the prompt recognition of the different clinical forms of stroke, the assessment of the response to treatments and the prognostic assessment. All these issues might be improved with appropriate smart biomarkers that could better inform clinical management. The present article offers an overview of the potential role of circular RNAs as disease biomarkers in stroke. A systematic approach was adopted to gather all potentially relevant information in order to provide a panoramic view on this class of promising molecules.
