Similarly, elevated galectin 3 binding protein during a MI correlated with markers of inflammation (IL-1β, fibrinogen, and high-sensitivity CRP), and in a 12-month follow-up, galectin 3 binding protein was associated with increased risk of angina or reinfarction and galectin-3 with all-cause mortality [82]. Here, LGALS3 is linked to angina pectoris.
