Abstract: INTRODUCTION: Secretoneurin (SN) is a prognostic biomarker in cardiovascular disease (CVD), and circulating SN concentrations have been associated with clinical outcomes in various cohort of CVDs. SN reflects other cellular pathways than established CV biomarkers, and SN provides incremental prognostic information to established CV risk indices. SN has been found to have several beneficial properties and SN could have potential as a future therapeutic strategy in CVD. AREAS COVERED: This review discusses SN as a novel cardiovascular biomarker and a potential therapeutic strategy in cardiovascular medicine. The authors have considered relevant papers identified by PubMed. EXPERT OPINION: SN is a prognostic biomarker in CVD, and unraveling the underlying pathophysiology of SN will be important to advance SN as a biomarker and potential future therapy in CVD. The future for SN as a biomarker and therapy is attractive and could be of future clinical relevance.
