Is sodium current present in human sinoatrial node cells?
<p>Pacemaker activity of the sinoatrial node has been studied extensively in various animal species, but is virtually unexplored in man. As such, it is unknown whether the fast sodium current (I<sub>Na</sub>) plays a role in the pacemaker activity of the human sinoatrial node. Rece...
