“…Coronary artery disease or ischemic heart disease (CAD or IHD) is one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality. Echocardiography provides a thorough complex assessment of structural and hemodynamic changes induced by acute or chronic CAD [ 30 – 32 ], and in skilled hands it is useful for the clinical management of these patients. Despite its undeniable operator dependence, its availability, ease of use, price, capacity to serve as bedside technique, and repeatability make the method essential for all cardiologists.…”

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) still remains the main cause of morbidity and mortality and consequently early diagnosis is of paramount importance. Working conditions can be regarded as an additional risk factor for CVD. Since different aspects of the job may affect vascular health differently, it is important to consider occupation from multiple perspectives to better assess occupational impacts on health. Standard echocardiography has several targets in the cardiac population, as the assessment of myocardial performance, valvular and/or congenital heart disease, and hemodynamics. Three-dimensional echocardiography gained attention recently as a viable clinical tool in assessing left ventricular (LV) and right ventricular (RV) function, volume, and shape. Two-dimensional (2DSTE) and, more recently, three-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (3DSTE) have also emerged as methods for detection of global and regional myocardial dysfunction in various cardiovascular diseases and applied to the diagnosis of subtle LV and RV dysfunction. Although these novel echocardiographic imaging modalities have advanced our understanding of LV and RV mechanics, overlapping patterns often show challenges that limit their clinical utility. This review will describe the current state of standard and advanced echocardiography in early detection (secondary prevention) of CVD and address future directions for this potentially important diagnostic strategy.

“…In TTE, the left ventricle is split into 17 segments, which are all assessed individually. The ventricle as a whole and each individual segment can be described as normal, hyperdynamic, hypokinetic, akinetic, dyskinetic or aneurysmal (Votavová et al, 2015). When one or more segment is moving differently to the others, this is described as a regional wallmotion abnormality.…”

“…When one or more segment is moving differently to the others, this is described as a regional wallmotion abnormality. Each segment can be attributed to a likely coronary artery for its blood supply (Votavová et al, 2015). The overall systolic function is usually described as an ejection fraction (EF).…”

“…Low serum BDNF was observed in patients with CAD that causing future coronary events 15 . In general, the ventricular function has been assessed by the two-dimensional echocardiographic imaging recommended by the American Society of Echocardiography (ASE) 16 . Relating serum BDNF levels with echocardiographic indices may provide the involvement of BDNF in cardiac systems, which may be useful in developing a potential alternative method for CAD diagnosis.…”

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) plays a central pivotal role in the development of the cardiovascular system. Recent evidence suggests that BDNF has adverse subclinical cardiac remodeling in participants with cardiovascular disease risk factors. Relating serum BDNF levels with two-dimensional echocardiographic indices will provide insights into the BDNF mediated pathophysiology in coronary artery disease (CAD) that may shed light upon potential diagnostic biomarkers. For the study, 221 participants were recruited and classified based on coronary angiogram examination as control (n = 105) and CAD (n = 116). All participants underwent routine blood investigation, two-dimensional echocardiography, and serum BDNF estimation. As a result, total cholesterol, triglyceride, low-density lipid, high-density lipid, HbA1c (glycosylated hemoglobin), serum creatinine, eosinophils, lymphocyte, monocytes, neutrophils, and platelets were significantly elevated in CAD individuals compared to controls. Notably, the serum BDNF was significantly lower in individuals with CAD (30.69 ± 5.45 ng/ml) than controls (46.58 ± 7.95 ng/ml). Multivariate regression analysis showed neutrophils, total cholesterol, left ventricular mass index, mitral inflow E/A ratio, and pulmonary vein AR duration were associated with low BDNF in CAD. Four independent support vector machine (SVM) models performed to ensure the BDNF level in the classification of CAD from healthy controls. Particularly, the model with serum BDNF concentration and blood parameters of CAD achieved significant improvement from 90.95 to 98.19% in detecting CAD from healthy controls. Overall, our analysis provides a significant molecular linkage between the serum BDNF level and cardiovascular function. Our results contribute to the emerging evidence of BDNF as a potential diagnostic value in CAD that might lead to clinical application.
