In recent years, galectin-3, an inflammatory marker, has been demonstrated to be closely related to cardiac fibrosis and heart failure. The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to define galectin-3 in predicting mortality of heart failure.
PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library were searched. A total of 1540 studies were identified, and of these studies, 19 involving 9217 patients were included in our meta-analysis.
The diagnostic hazard ratios of galectin-3 in predicting mortality in chronic heart failure patients was 1.13 (95% CI,:1.07-1.21 ) and 2.17 (95% CI:1.27-3.08) in acute heart failure (HF) patients.
Our meta-analysis shows that elevated levels of galectin-3 are associated with higher mortality in both acute and chronic heart failure patients.
近年来,炎症标志物半乳糖凝集素-3 被证实与心肌纤维化和心力衰竭密切相关。本系统评价和荟萃分析的目的是确定半乳糖凝集素-3 在预测心力衰竭患者死亡率中的作用。
检索了 PubMed、Embase 和 Cochrane 图书馆。共确定了 1540 项研究,其中 19 项研究(涉及 9217 名患者)纳入了我们的荟萃分析。
半乳糖凝集素-3 预测慢性心力衰竭患者死亡率的诊断风险比为 1.13(95%CI:1.07-1.21),预测急性心力衰竭(HF)患者死亡率的风险比为 2.17(95%CI:1.27-3.08)。
我们的荟萃分析表明,半乳糖凝集素-3 水平升高与急性和慢性心力衰竭患者的死亡率升高相关。
