Lineages of the Cardiac Conduction System [PDF]
The cardiac conduction system (CCS) initiates and coordinately propagates the electrical impulse to orchestrate the heartbeat. It consists of a set of interconnected components with shared properties.

Development and Function of the Cardiac Conduction System in Health and Disease
The generation and propagation of the cardiac impulse is the central function of the cardiac conduction system (CCS). Impulse initiation occurs in nodal tissues that have high levels of automaticity, but slow conduction properties.

Development of the Cardiac Conduction System. [PDF]
The cardiac conduction system initiates and propagates each heartbeat. Specialized conducting cells are a well-conserved phenomenon across vertebrate evolution, although mammalian and avian species harbor specific components unique to organisms with four-chamber hearts.

The Cardiac Conduction System [PDF]
The human heart beats 2.5 billion times during a normal lifespan, a feat accomplished by cells of the cardiac conduction system (CCS). The functional components of the CCS can be broadly divided into the impulse-generating nodes and the impulse-propagating His-Purkinje system.

Development of the Cardiac Conduction System [PDF]
In the formed heart, it is convention to distinguish working myocardium (the primary function of which is contraction) from the conduction system (the primary function of which is the generation and conduction of the electrical impulse). The conduction system comprises separate components with distinct functions.

Desmin variants: Trigger for cardiac arrhythmias?
Desmin (DES) is a classical type III intermediate filament protein encoded by the DES gene. Desmin is abundantly expressed in cardiac, skeletal, and smooth muscle cells.
