Comparison the Prognostic Value of Galectin-3 and Serum Markers of Cardiac Extracellular Matrix Turnover in Patients with Chronic Systolic Heart Failure

Background: Galectin-3 (Gal-3) shows the ability of survival prediction in heart failure (HF) patients. However, Gal-3 is strongly associated with serum markers of cardiac extracellular matrix (ECM) turnover. The aim of this study is to compare the impact of Gal-3 and serum markers of cardiac ECM tu...
