Core Tip	Early and accurate diagnosis of ischemic stroke is critical to achieve favorable clinical outcome. Cell-free DNA can be used as a useful biomarker for early diagnosis and prognosis of ischemic stroke for saving time and increasing the likelihood of successful intervention. Discriminative quantification of cell free mitochondrial DNA instead of overall circulating DNA may provide more significant value for identifying real-time host response. The future practical adoption of this strategy may be aided by reliable and standardized quantification of cell-free mitochondrial DNAs in ischemic stroke patients to design more effective diagnosis, prognosis and therapeutic strategies.
