Editorials published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology reflect the How does the SAN manage to take depolarizaion from a small group of cells into the entire atrial tissue? The slow conduction within the SAN supports unoupling as a mechanism of slow-but-safe propagation. ocalized cooling, observed that initial atrial activation sites iscrete conduction pathways connecting the SAN with acemaker cells, propagation within the SAN would fail due intracellular Ca2� clocks and surface membrane voltage clocks controls the timekeeping mechanism of the heart's pacemaker. of the pacemaker tissues of the heart. Ca2� clock and membrane ion channel clock underlie robust initiation and regulation of cardiac pacemaker function. Relation to dynamics of atrial conduction, P-wave changes and heart rate control. ey Words: bradycardia y exit pathway y optical mapping y sinus node. ./cache/work_kpf7atny2rfvjiwnovaidvndry.pdf ./txt/work_kpf7atny2rfvjiwnovaidvndry.txt
