Objective: To investigate the clinical value of serum galectin-3(Gal-3) in predicting pulmonary arterial hypertension(PAH) in children with congenital heart disease(CHD). Methods: One hundred and sixty-nine children with CHD treated in our hospital from March 2017 to July 2021 were selected as our research subjects, including 48 children with PAH(CHD-PAH group) and 121 children without PAH(simple CHD group). In addition, 32 healthy children were randomly selected as control group. The levels of serum Gal-3 were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results: The pulmonary artery mean pressure(mPAP), N-terminal B-type brain natriuretic peptide(NT-proBNP), asymmetric dimethylarginine(ADMA),γ-glutamyltransferase(GGT) and Gal-3 levels in CHD-PAH group were higher than those in simple CHD group(P<0.05). Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses showed that serum Gal-3 and ADMA were independent predictors of CHD-PAH(P<0.05). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of serum Gal-3, ADMA and their combination to predict CHD-PAH were 0.801(95%CI 0.733-0.868), 0.666(95%CI 0.578-0.754)and 0.825(95%CI 0.759-0.891), respectively. For CHD-PAH children, serum Gal-3 level was positively correlated with mPAP, NT-probNP, GGT, creatinine(Cr), and negatively correlated with percutaneous blood oxygen saturation and left ventricular ejection fraction(P<0.05). After further adjustment for confounding factors, multiple linear regression analysis showed that serum Gal-3 levels were still positively correlated with mPAP(β=0.369, 95%CI 0.152-0.571, P=0.006). Conclusion: Serum Gal-3 is highly expressed in CHD-PAH children and significantly correlated with disease severity and levels of mPAP and NT-proBNP. Serum Gal-3 has high diagnostic value in predicting the risk of secondary PAH in children with CHD. |
