Abstract
Background/Objectives: Oxidative stress and galectin-3-related fibro-inflammatory processes contribute to heart failure pathophysiology, but their concurrent relationships with natriuretic peptides and structural/cardiorenal parameters remain incompletely characterized. We evaluated baseline associations of serum peroxide burden and galectin-3 with N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and related phenotypic parameters in chronic heart failure.
