Abstract

Objective: In patients with heart disease and a reduced ejection fraction, a review investigated the proportion and other variables associated with elevated blood galectin-3. Subjects and methods: 122 heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction have been the subjects of a cross-sectional descriptive study from 2018 to 2019 at Can Tho University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital. Results: In research with 122 individuals with heart failure, 14 (11.48%) showed elevated blood galectin-3 (22.1 ng/mL), while the remaining 88.52 percent did not. Elevated galectin-3 is associated with a history of coronary artery disease, NT-proBNP >1800 pg/mL, and a waist circumference > 90 cm in people with heart failure. Elevated blood levels of galactin-3 were linked to increased NT-proBNP and EF levels in a multivariate regression study of heart failure diagnostic time. Conclusion: Blood galectin-3 is frequently increased in heart failure patients with lower ejection fraction and is correlated with NT-proBNP, ejection fraction, and delay in diagnosis of heart failure
