Role of Angiopoietin-Like Protein 2 in Atrial Fibrosis Induced by Human Epicardial Adipose Tissue: Analysis Using Organo-Culture System

We have recently reported that peri-left atrial epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is associated with atrial myocardial fibrosis, in which angiopoietin-like protein 2 (Angptl2) protein content in EAT is associated with atrial myocardial fibrosis.
