: Studies published in Nature Communications discuss the structural basis of voltage-dependent gating, specifically how Ca2+cap C a raised to the 2 plus power activation modulates VSD movements in BKcap B cap K
: Pre-operative identification of a prominent Eustachian Valve (EV) is critical before surgical repair of defects like Atrial Septal Defects (ASD) or VSD . Misidentifying the EV can lead to inadvertent suturing and obstruction of the Inferior Vena Cava (IVC).
: Multimodality imaging, including echocardiography and CT, is used to diagnose post-operative complications and accurately map cardiac anatomy.
