The role of biochemical biomarkers for neuronal activity and clinical neuropsychological tests in patients with carotid stenting

A larger sample is needed to prove further our results, namely: 1. Arterial blood pressure is an important factor for BDNF and NGF concentrations; 2. The correlation between these markers and interventional treatment may be not linear; 3. There are significant differences in the serum concentrations of biomarkers for neural activity between patients with and without significant carotid stenoses.Research Grant 2020 from Medical University Sofia, Bulgaria, contract 133/24.06.2020.
