Heart failure (HF) is a complex clinical syndrome characterized by the activation of at least
several neurohumoral pathways that have a common role in maintaining cardiac output and …

Heart failure results not only from cardiac overload or injury but also from a complex
interplay among genetic, neurohormonal, inflammatory, and biochemical changes acting on …

Abstract Background Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are a form of cancer that differ from
other neoplasia in that they synthesize, store, and secrete peptides, eg, chromogranin A …

The chromogranins (chromogranin A and chromogranin B), secretogranins (secretogranin II
and secretogranin III), and additional related proteins (7B2, NESP55, proSAAS, and VGF) …

Background—We hypothesize that left-sided low-level vagus nerve stimulation (LL-VNS)
can suppress sympathetic outflow and reduce atrial tachyarrhythmias in ambulatory dogs …

Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is identified as an acute severe ventricular systolic dysfunction,
which is usually characterized by reversible and transient akinesia of walls of the ventricle in …

Chromogranin A (CgA)—the index member of the chromogranin/secretogranin secretory
protein family—is ubiquitously distributed in endocrine, neuroendocrine, and immune cells …

BACKGROUND: We studied the effects of transcutaneous electrical stimulation at the tragus,
the anterior protuberance of the outer ear, for inhibiting atrial fibrillation (AF). OBJECTIVE: To …

An accurate tumor marker is a critical tool in tumor management because it establishes an
uncertain diagnosis, offers a basis for individual prognostication, signals response to …

Chromogranin A, despite a number of limitations, is still the most valuable marker of
neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). Granins belong to the family of acidic proteins that constitute …
