Galectin-3 (Gal-3) is a biomarker of fibrosis that has been associated with atrial remodeling. Acknowledging the presence of a biomarker in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) can allow for a better clinical treatment. The aim of this study was to assess the association of Gal-3 with atrial fibrosis in patients with AF. This is a systematic review study. From the total number of studies analyzed, 12 demonstrated a relation between atrial fibrosis and Gal-3 in patients with AF and presented statistically significant association values. We conclude that Gal-3 is associated with atrial fibrosis in patients with AF in all types, as well as after the arrhythmia treatment by ablation.
半乳糖凝集素-3(Gal-3)是一种纤维化生物标志物,与心房重构有关。认识到心房颤动(AF)患者中存在生物标志物有助于更好地进行临床治疗。本研究的目的是评估Gal-3与AF患者心房纤维化之间的关联。这是一项系统评价研究。在所分析的研究总数中,有12项表明AF患者的心房纤维化与Gal-3之间存在关联,并呈现出具有统计学意义的关联值。我们得出结论,Gal-3与所有类型AF患者的心房纤维化有关,也与心律失常消融治疗后的心房纤维化有关。
