Abstract excerpt
Aim: This study sought to investigate the relationship between galectin-3 (Gal-3), myocardial fibrosis (MF) and outcomes in acute heart failure. Materials & methods: The single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of LGALS3 at rs4644 and rs4652, plasma Gal-3 level, MF and major adverse events (MAEs) were obtained. Results: There was no significant difference in MAEs when categorizing patients by the LGALS3 SNPs at...
