Performance of a Novel Research-Use-Only Secretoneurin ELISA in Patients with Suspected Acute Coronary Syndrome: Comparison with an Established Secretoneurin Radioimmunoassay.

Background: Circulating secretoneurin (SN) concentrations, as measured by established radioimmunoassay (RIA), risk stratify patients with cardiovascular disease. We now report data for a recently developed research-use-only SN enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in patients with suspected acute coronary syndrome (ACS).

Methods: SN ELISA was developed according to industry standards and tested in 401 unselected chest pain patients.
