Abstract
- Aim: This study investigated the impact of the circulating galectin-3 level on the 30-day prognostic outcome in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).Methods: From May 2009 to March 2011, blood samples for assessment of the circulating galectin-3 level were collected from 196 consecutive STEMI patients treated by primary PCI and from 30 healthy volunteers.Results: The galectin-3 level was determined using ELISA. Our results demonstrated that the circulating level of galectin-3 was significantly higher in STEMI patients than in healthy control subjects (p
