Novel Cardiovascular Biomarker Secretoneurin Implicated in Arrhythmogenesis

Secretoneurin is a 33-amino acid peptide derived from neuroendocrine and myocardial tissue that belongs to the granin protein family. Secretoneurin may play a role in regulating processes in the myocardium, including cardiomyocyte Ca2+ handling, and has been implicated in arrhythmogenesis. More...

Admission HbA1c Levels Associated with Risk of Second Stroke in Diabetics

An ischemic attack is caused by a disruption in the blood supply to part of the brain and this disruption in blood supply results in a lack of oxygen to the brain. This can cause sudden symptoms similar to a stroke, such as speech and visual disturbance, and numbness or weakness in the face, arms and legs. More...
