LGALS3 and myocardial infarction: On the basis of the receiver operating curve (ROC), the Gal-3 level ≥9.2 ng/mL has been assigned as a cut-off value with a high specificity (91%) but low sensitivity (50%) (p = 0.0005, area under the curve (AUC) = 0.684, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.581–0.788) for the occurrence of adverse cardiovascular events in MI patients during the follow up (see Figure 1).
