Zero Fluoroscopy Ablation of Arrhythmias in Patients With Congenital Heart Disease
Zero‐fluoroscopy radiofrequency ablation using 3D electroanatomic mapping was performed in 42 patients with mild, moderate, or great complexity congenital heart disease. Acute success was 100%, with no complications and minimal recurrence over 48 months. This approach eliminates radiation exposure while maintaining safety and efficacy across select yet

This study reveals how vorticity—a swirling flow pattern—enhances platelet aggregation and thrombus formation in high‐shear conditions. Using a custom microfluidic model, it is shows that vorticity promotes vWF–GPIbα interactions and calcium signaling, providing new insights into thrombosis mechanobiology and informing safer blood‐contacting medical ...

PIEZO Force Sensing in Vascular Biology: An Explosion of New Knowledge, Concepts and Opportunity
Knowledge of the remarkable mechanical force sensing and electrically transducing PIEZO1 and PIEZO2 channels is discussed across vascular biology and its cell types from the embryonic to adult stages in health, disease and old age. How the channels work, relate to other factors and signal for tissue responses to mechanical forces is debated.

AP2M1 Is a Candidate Gene for Microcephaly and Intellectual Disability in 3q27.1 Deletions
ABSTRACT Deletions of the 3q26.33q27.2 region appear to correlate with a distinct phenotype, although there are few reported cases. Here, we present seven previously unreported individuals carrying de novo 3q27 deletions (under 5 Mb), which include the AP2M1 (adaptor‐related protein complex 2, mu‐1 subunit) gene and summarize data from 12 previously ...

ABSTRACT Cardiac rhabdomyomas are often the presenting sign of tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). Prior reports have shown that maternal sirolimus treatment can reduce rhabdomyomas. We used maternal sirolimus to reverse hydrops fetalis due to a massive cardiac rhabdomyoma in a twin gestation.
