Abstract EN
Galectins are a family of soluble β-galactoside-binding lectins that have important role in inflammation, immunity, and cancer.
Galectin-3 as a part of this lectin family plays a very important role in development of heart failure.
According to recent papers, galectin-3 plasma level correlates with heart failure outcome, primarily with rehospitalisation and death from heart failure.
This paper summarizes the most recent advances in galectin-3 research, with the accent on the role of galectin-3 in pathophysiology of myocardial remodelling and heart failure development—with preserved and reduced ejection fraction, and some implication on development of new disease modifying drugs.
