Article Synopsis
- This multicenter study investigated factors influencing zero-fluoroscopy (ZFL) ablation procedures for supraventricular tachycardias among 430 patients.
- Results showed ZFL was achieved in 67.2% of procedures, with key predictors including the operator’s experience, type of arrhythmia, and the patient's age.
- The use of 3D mapping systems was effective in all cases, minimizing fluoroscopy use while maintaining high safety and effectiveness.

Background: We hypothesized that fractional flow reserve (FFR)-guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) would be superior to medical therapy as initial treatment in patients with stable coronary artery disease.
Methods: Among 1220 patients with angiographically significant stenoses, those in whom at least one stenosis was hemodynamically significant (FFR, ≤0.80) were randomly assigned to FFR-guided PCI plus medical therapy or to medical therapy alone.
Cardiomyocyte Membrane Structure and cAMP Compartmentation Produce Anatomical Variation in βAR-cAMP Responsiveness in Murine Hearts.

Myocardial Function, National Heart and Lung Institute, Imperial College London, ICTEM, Hammersmith Hospital, Du Cane Road, London W12 0NN, UK. Electronic address:
Cardiomyocytes from the apex but not the base of the heart increase their contractility in response to β-adrenoceptor (βAR) stimulation, which may underlie the development of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy. However, both cell types produce comparable cytosolic amounts of the second messenger cAMP. We investigated this discrepancy using nanoscale imaging techniques and found that, structurally, basal cardiomyocytes have more organized membranes (higher T-tubular and caveolar densities).
