The Predictive Value of Circulating Gal‐3 for New Stroke Events in Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation Patients Despite Oral Anticoagulation Medications
The presence of Gal-3 is an independent risk factor for stroke in patients with AF. Elevated levels of Gal-3 have the potential to serve as a valuable biomarker for identifying incident strokes in AF patients. Furthermore, incorporating the assessment of Gal-3 levels into the conventional CHA2DS2-VASc score could significantly enhance its predictive accuracy for stroke in AF patients.
