Abstract

Post-infarct left ventricular remodeling (LVR) process increases the risk of heart failure (HF). Circulating galectin-3 has been associated with fibrosis, inflammation and cardiac dysfunction during the remodeling process after myocardial infarction (MI). The aims of this prospective case study were to investigate the association of potentially functional variants in the vicinity of LGALS-3 locus, rs2274273 and rs17128183 with maladaptive LVR and whether these variants could affect LGALS-3 mRNA expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of patients 6 months after the first MI. This study encompassed 167 patients with acute MI that were followed up for 6 months. Evidence of LVR was obtained by repeated 2D Doppler echocardiography. Rs2274273, rs17128183 and LGALS-3 mRNA expression were detected by TaqMan® technology. Rs2274273 and rs17128183 rare allele bearing genotypes, according to the dominant model (CT+TT vs. CC and AG+GG vs. AA, respectively), were significantly and independently associated with maladaptive LVR (adjusted OR = 3.02, P = 0.016; adjusted OR = 3.14, P = 0.019, respectively) and higher LGALS-3 mRNA expression (fold induction 1.203, P = 0.03 and 1.214, P = 0.03, respectively). Our exploratory results sugges...Continue Reading

Cardiovascular Inflammation

Inflammation plays a significant role in the development of cardiovascular diseases, an understanding of these endogenous processes is critical for evaluating the risks and potential treatment strategies. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular inflammation here.

Anti-inflammatory Treatments

A drug or substance that reduces inflammation (redness, swelling, and pain) in the body. Anti-inflammatory agents block certain substances in the body that cause inflammation and swelling. Discover the latest research on anti-inflammatory treatments here

Cardiac Remodeling

Cardiac remodeling in response to a myocardial infarction is characterized by progressive ventricular dilatation, cardiac hypertrophy, fibrosis, and deterioration of cardiac performance. Discover the latest research on Cardiac Remodeling here.
