Galectin-3, as a biomarker of inflammation and fibrosis, has been reported to be associated with coronary artery disease.
The study aimed to assess the relationship between galectin-3 levels and the occurrence of reinfarction early after myocardial infarction (MI).
The study included 145 consecutive patients with first MI treated invasively. Serum galectin-3 was measured using VIDAS (bioMérieux, Marcy-l'Etoile, France).
The independent predictors of reinfarction in our group were as follows: female gender, elevated hs-C-reactive protein and galectin-3 levels (measured both at discharge).
Galectin-3 might be an additional useful biomarker in prediction for reinfarction early after first MI.
半乳糖凝集素-3 作为炎症和纤维化的生物标志物,已被报道与冠状动脉疾病相关。
本研究旨在评估半乳糖凝集素-3 水平与心肌梗死后早期再梗死发生的关系。
本研究纳入了 145 例接受介入治疗的首次心肌梗死连续患者。使用 VIDAS(生物梅里埃,马西-勒泰奥勒,法国)检测血清半乳糖凝集素-3。
在我们的研究人群中,再梗死的独立预测因素如下:女性、高 hs-C 反应蛋白和半乳糖凝集素-3 水平(均在出院时测量)。
半乳糖凝集素-3 可能是预测首次心肌梗死后早期再梗死的另一个有用的生物标志物。
