%X We have read the article by Zivlas and colleagues in which the authors suggest a putative pathogenic role for cystatin C (Cys-C) and galectin-3 (Gal-3) in heart failure (HF) progression and cardiorenal syndrome. They even speculate on the possibility of targeting both molecules as a new therapeutic approach to address both processes.
