On the Evolution of the Cardiac Pacemaker [PDF]

Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2017
The rhythmic contraction of the heart is initiated and controlled by an intrinsic pacemaker system. Cardiac contractions commence at very early embryonic stages and coordination remains crucial for survival. The underlying molecular mechanisms of pacemaker cell development and function are still not fully understood.
