Objectives:We aimed to determine the association between Galectin-3 (Gal-3) levels and microvolt T-wave alternans (MTWA) and frequent premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) in single-vessel patients with left ventricular ejection fraction (EF) (LVEF) >35%, who presented with ST-elevated myocardial infarction (MI) (STEMI) and were treated with primary percutane-ous coronary intervention (pPCI).Materials and Methods:A total of 81 patients were included in this cross-sectional study. Blood samples for Gal-3 levels were obtained from all patients at the time of admission. The patients were separated into low and high Gal-3 (≤ and >1.93 ng/dL, respectively) groups. Low-Gal-3 and high-Gal-3 groups were compared with respect to both MTWA and PVC positivity and their association with Gal-3 levels were examined.Results:When compared to the low-Gal-3 group, left atrial volume (LAV) was higher in the high-Gal-3 patients (55.7±18.0 vs 40.6±13.7 mL, p35%. |
