Figure 2

Proposed roles of Gal-1 in cardiovascular disease. Galectin-1 (Gal-1) has been implicated in a number of cardiovascular disorders. The roles of this lectin vary according to different clinical contexts. Gal-1 = galectin-1; AMI = acute myocardial infarction; HF = heart failure; PAH = pulmonary arterial hypertension.
