Abstract. Galectins
belongs to the Lectin family and fulfil various roles. Among them, Galectin-3
is involved in inflammatory processes associated with cardiovascular diseases.
Biomarkers have become essential in the management of cardiovascular disease
and their potential clinical applications continue to grow. Of great interest
is the knowledge of Galectin-3 as a novel biomarker involved in cardiac
fibrosis and remodeling, as well as its clinical application in heart failure.
Keywords:
Galectin,
Cardiovascular Diseases, Heart Failure.
