Abstract:
Objective :To explore changes of serum levels of galectin-3 and pentraxin-3 (PTX-3) in patients with chro-nic heart failure (CHF) and their correlation with prognosis .Methods : A total of 150 CHF patients (CHF group) treated in our hospital and 150 healthy volunteers undergoing physical examination simultaneously (healthy group ) from Jan 2015 to Dec 2015 were enrolled .Serum levels of galectin-3 ,PTX-3 and N-terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) ,left atrial diameter (LAD) ,left ventricular end-diastolic dimension (LVEDd) and left ven-tricular mass index (LVMI) were compared between two groups at enrollment .According to one-year follow-up out-come ,CHF group (12 cases lost ,another 138 cases) was divided into poor prognosis group (n＝36) and good prog-nosis group (n＝102).Spearman linear correlation analysis was used to analyze correlation among serum galectin-3 , PTX-3 levels and poor prognosis of CHF patients .Results :Compared with healthy group ,there were significant rise in serum levels of galectin-3 [ (2-23 ± 0-25) ng／ml vs .(16-61 ± 1-48) ng／ml] ,PTX-3 [ (1-28 ± 0-54) μg／L vs. (3-58 ± 0-52) μg／L] ,NT-proBNP [(223-23 ± 76-28) pg／ml vs.(952-75 ± 85-43) pg／ml] ,LAD ,LVEDd and LV-MI in CHF group , P＝0-001 all.Compared with good prognosis group at enrollment ,there were significant rise in serum levels of galectin-3 [ (18-52 ± 1-91) ng／ml vs.(24-63 ± 2-26) ng／ml] and PTX-3 [ (2-65 ± 0-74) μg／L vs. (3-95 ± 1-05) μg／L] in poor prognosis group , P＝0-001 both .Spearman linear correlation analysis indicated that serum galectin-3 and PTX-3 levels were significant positively correlated with major adverse cardiovascular events in CHF patients ( r＝0-608 ,0-558 , P＝0-001 both).Conclusion :Serum levels of galectin-3 ,PTX-3 and NT-proBNP levels are significant rise and closely related to prognosis of CHF patients ,can be used as auxiliary indexes predicting prognosis and may provide the basis for formulation of target therapy .
