There has been studied the prognostic value of galectin-3 in the development of cardiovascular complications at 30-month follow-up of the 155 patients with right ventricular myocardial infarction on the background of the Q-myocardial infarction of the left ventricular posterior wall. The level of galectin-3 was determined on the 2nd day of acute infarction and after 6 months of follow-up (Platinun ELISA). A prognostic significance of galectin-3 in the development of unstable angina, myocardial re-infarctions, acute cerebrovascular accidents and cardiovascular death within 30 months has been proved. The connection was established between the high concentration of galectin-3 6 months after right ventricular myocardial infarction and the incidence of the combined cardiovascular endpoint.
