Galectin-3, a marker of fibrosis and inflammation, has shown himself as a biomarker of CHF in many studies, but the dynamics of its levels in patients with concomitant diabetes mellitus (DM) type 2 is not well-studied.</p><sec><title>Aim</title><p>Aim. To identify diagnostic significance of galectin-3 plasma level evaluation and its correlations with echocardiographic criteria for patients with CHF and DM type 2.</p></sec><sec><title>Material and methods</title><p>Material and methods. The study included 33 patients with ischemic CHF (all patients had a history of myocardial infarction) and DM type 2. The patients were divided into two groups according to the left ventricle (LV) ejection fraction (EF): a group with CHF and preserved ejection fraction (PEF) (EF≥50%) and with CHF and reduced ejection fraction (EF&lt;50%). Patients underwent clinical laboratory tests and Doppler echocardiography; moreover, the levels of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and galeсtin-3 were measured.</p></sec><sec><title>Results</title><p>Results. The mean level of galectin-3 in blood plasma in the group with CHF and PEF was significantly higher than in the group with CHF and reduced EF (p=0.007). In the group with CHF and PEF a positive correlation between the level of galectin-3 and diastolic LV function E/E' was found (r=0.620, p=0.01). A significant correlation between galectin-3 level and LV systolic function was stated in the group with reduced EF (r=0.53; p&lt;0.05), while in the group with PEF, the correlation was not significant (p=0.225). In the group of patients with reduced EF a negative correlation between galectin-3 and the volume of left atrium was revealed (r=-0.53; p&lt;0.05).</p></sec><sec><title>Conclusion</title><p>Conclusion. Galectin-3 can be used as a diagnostic biomarker primarily in patients with CHF and PEF.</p></sec></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>В настоящее время все больше внимания уделяется поиску дополнительных маркеров хронической сердечной недостаточности (ХСН). Галектин-3, являясь маркером фиброза и воспаления, во многих исследованиях показал себя в качестве маркера ХСН, однако динамика его уровня у пациентов с сопутствующим сахарным диабе-том (СД) 2 типа изучена пока недостаточно.</p><sec><title>Цель</title><p>Цель. Изучить диагностическую значимость определения плазменного уровня галектина-3, а также его взаимосвязь с эхокардиографическими (ЭХО-КГ) критерия-ми у пациентов с ХСН в сочетании с СД 2 типа.</p></sec><sec><title>Материал и методы</title><p>Материал и методы. В исследование включено 33 пациента с ХСН ишемического генеза (в анамнезе все пациенты перенесли инфаркт миокарда) в сочетании с СД 2 типа, разделенные соответственно фракции выброса (ФВ) левого желудочка (ЛЖ), на группы – ХСН с сохраненной ФВ (СФВ) (ФВ≥50%) и ХСН со сниженной ФВ (ФВ&lt;50%). К пациентам применялись общеклинические методы исследования, ЭХО-КГ с допплерографией, а также исследовался уровень мозгового натрийурети-ческого пептида (BNP) и галектина-3.</p></sec><sec><title>Результаты</title><p>Результаты. Средний уровень галектина- 3 в плазме крови в группе больных ХСН с СФВ был значимо выше, чем в группе ХСН со сниженной ФВ (p=0,007). В груп-пе ХСН с СФВ обнаружена положительная корреляция между уровнем галектина-3 и показателем диастолической функции ЛЖ Е/Е’ (r=0,620; p=0,01). Установлена значимая корреляция между уровнем галектина-3 и систолической функцией ЛЖ в группе со сниженной ФВ (r=0,53; p&lt;0,05;), в то время как в группе с СФВ корре-ляция была незначимой (p=0,225). В группе больных со сниженной ФВ выявлена отрицательная корреляция уровня галектина-3 с объемом левого предсердия (r=-0,53; p&lt;0,05).</p></sec><sec><title>Заключение</title><p>Заключение. Галектин-3 может рассматриваться в качестве диагностического маркера преимущественно у пациентов с ХСН и СФВ ЛЖ.</p></sec></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>хроническая сердечная недостаточность</kwd><kwd>сахарный диабет 2 типа</kwd><kwd>галектин- 3</kwd><kwd>диастолическая функция</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>chronic heart failure</kwd><kwd>diabetes mellitus type 2</kwd><kwd>galeсtin-3</kwd><kwd>diastolic function</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Ambrosy AP, Fonarow GC, Butler J, et al.
