ANGPT2 and coronary artery disorder: ANGPT2 overexpression in C-PVAT could be confirmed on the transcriptional level by qPCR analysis in 16 patients with CAD, showing significantly higher ANGPT2 mRNA levels in C-PVAT compared to IMA-PVAT (1.31 (0.51–3.01) vs. 0.74 (0.12–3.50), p < 0.0001; Figure 5B).
