About this trial
Secretoneurin (SN) is a neuropeptide from the chromogranin family that influences intracellular calcium handling. SN suppresses calcium leakage from the sarcoplasmic reticulum through the ryanodine receptor. SN is a novel biomarker that has shown the potential to predict adverse arrhythmic events.
