Summary
Secretoneurin is a 33-amino acid neuropeptide produced by the endoproteolytic cleavage of chromogranin/secretogranin proteins. Secretoneurin is produced by neuroendocrine- and heart muscle cells and is detectable in the blood stream. Circulating secretoneurin concentrations are increased in patients with acute heart failure in proportion to disease
severity in patients with arrhythmia-induced cardiac arrest2, after coronary artery bypass grafting3, and in critically ill patients with severe infections1
. Secretoneurin is a strong predictor of mortality in patients with acute heart failure, in acute respiratory failure patients with CVD, in patients with severe sepsis, and in patients with acute coronary syndrom.
