LGALS3 and Myocardial fibrosis: The effects of MCP and perindopril were comparable, indicating that perindopril improves ventricular remodeling in rabbits with ischemic heart failure probably by downregulating Gal-3 in the myocardium, decreasing collagen deposition in the myocardial interstitium, inhibiting myocardial fibrosis, and delaying ventricular remodeling.
