This predictive value is seemingly higher for the post-MI remodeling of systemic arteries since, in our multivariable analysis, a higher Galectin-3 was one of the independent predictors of high SVR at 6 months, with a smaller LV end-diastolic volume and a higher baseline SVR being the other predictors. The gene discussed is LGALS3; the disease is myocardial infarction.
