LGALS3 and congestive heart failure: After treatment, the effective group had lower levels of galectin-3, RDW, Hepc, and HS and higher ferritin levels than the non-effective group (P < 0.05), suggesting that galectin-3, RDW, Hepc, HS and ferritin are expressed in high levels in patients with acute attack of CHF, and in even higher levels in patients with a poor prognosis.
