Epicardial Adipose Tissue Accumulation Confers Atrial Conduction Abnormality

Clinical studies have reported that epicardial adipose tissue (EpAT) accumulation associates with the progression of atrial fibrillation (AF) pathology and adversely affects AF management. The role of local cardiac EpAT deposition in disease progression is unclear, and the electrophysiological, cellular, and molecular mechanisms involved remain poorly defined. The purpose of this study was to identify the underlying mechanisms by which EpAT...
