RyR2 super-cluster properties are unaltered in human AF. Demonstration of super-cluster analysis performed on rendered dSTORM images of RyR2 clusters in a non-AF patient RAA, including (A) original rendered image, (B) mask generated after application of threshold, and (C) detection of super-clusters, with examples shown in panels i–iii. (A–C) Scale bar = 1 μm; panels i–iii scale bar = 0.5 μm. Analysis reveals the mean (D) percentage of clusters within 150 nm of nearest neighbor, (E) number of clusters in a super-cluster, and (F) super-cluster nearest neighbor distance in the RAA of non-AF, paroxysmal AF, and persistent AF patients. Data displayed as mean ± SEM. All analyses performed with one-way ANOVA; non-AF n = 9, paroxysmal AF n = 8, persistent AF n = 7.
