Role of sinoatrial node architecture in maintaining a balanced source-sink relationship and synchronous cardiac pacemaking
Normal heart rhythm (sinus rhythm) depends on regular activity of the sinoatrial node (SAN), a heterogeneous collection of specialized myocytes in the right atrium. SAN cells, in general, possess a unique electrophysiological profile that promotes spontaneous electrical activity (automaticity). How...
