Galectin-3 as the marker of hypertrophy and myocardial dysfunction in males with essential hypertension, carriers of polymorphic genes of angiotensin ii type 1 receptor
Abstract:One of the main etiological causes of development of heart failure is essential hypertension. The diagnosis of heart failure is usually made on the basis of comprehensive analysis of medical history, sonographic and biochemical examination. Normal ejection fraction does not exclude dyspnea of cardiac origin. Objective: to determine the role of galectin-3 as a marker of structural and functional changes of the myocardium in males with essential hypertension and CHF, carriers of polymorphic AT1R genes, residents… Show more
