Abstract:
According to neuropsychiatric sequelae for cardiovascular pathology, carotid artery disease (CAD) represents a significant medical, social, and economic burden. Numerous efforts have been made to define reliable markers that can reflect the principal pathological event and the effect of employed therapeutic protocols, prognoses, and clinical outcomes of CAD. However, the potential role of the neurotrophin (NT) system has not yet been confirmed. This narrative review was conducted following a literature search of PubMed, which included all studies on NT system elements and CAD published over the last two decades, encompassing both animal and clinical investigations, regarding the potential use of NT system elements as biomarkers for neurotoxicity manifestations and therapeutic effectiveness in CAD. Still, the analysis presented in this review is not sufficient to reveal whether NT system elements can be considered as exploratory or standard biomarkers for the evaluation of CAD. Further research is essential to elucidate this dilemma.
