Secretogranin II; a protein increased in the myocardium and circulation in heart failure with cardioprotective properties.

BACKGROUND: Several beneficial effects have been demonstrated for secretogranin II (SgII) in non-cardiac tissue. As cardiac production of chromogranin A and B, two related proteins, is increased in heart failure (HF), we hypothesized that SgII could play a role in cardiovascular pathophysiology. MET...
