Small‐conductance Ca2⁺‐activated K⁺ channels in cardiac excitation–contraction coupling: Bridging mitochondria, sarcolemma and antiarrhythmic therapy

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, Volume 604, Issue 16, Page 6691-6703, 15 August 2026.
Abstract figure legend Mitochondrial SK channel enhancement reduces cardiac arrhythmia trigger. Spontaneous sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ release via hyperactive RyR2s underlies an increased arrhythmia trigger, promoting early and delayed afterdepolarizations during stress. Hyperactive RyR2s causes rise in cytosolic [Ca2+] during diastole. Clearance

Pancreatic cancer cachexia promotes cardiac dysfunction through altered adrenergic signalling in the heart

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, Volume 604, Issue 15, Page 6281-6301, 1 August 2026.
Abstract figure legend The β1‐adrenergic receptor is the predominant adrenergic subtype expressed on cardiac myocytes. Upon stimulation it activates downstream signalling pathways that increase the heart rate and cardiac output to meet metabolic demands.

Rhythm Generating Mechanisms in Rat Sinoatrial Node

open access: yesCurrent Medical Issues
Background: The major membrane currents responsible for sinoatrial (SA) rhythm generation are generally studied in isolated cardiac cells using electrophysiological tools. Such studies are resource and labor-intensive.

Rare Case of Rapidly Worsening REM Sleep Induced Bradycardia

open access: yesCase Reports in Cardiology, 2015
Sinoatrial arrest also known as sinus pause occurs when sinoatrial node of the heart transiently ceases to generate the electrical impulse necessary for the myocardium to contract. It may last from 2.0 seconds to several minutes. Etiologies of sinoatrial

Stress-induced pacemaker desynchronization in the sinoatrial node

open access: yesFrontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine
The sinoatrial node (SAN) functions as a heterogeneous population of electrically coupled pacemaker cells rather than as a single dominant oscillator.

Simplified 2D Bidomain Model of Whole Heart Electrical Activity and ECG Generation

open access: yesMeasurement Science Review, 2014
The aim of this study was the development of a geometrically simple and highly computationally-efficient two dimensional (2D) biophysical model of whole heart electrical activity, incorporating spontaneous activation of the sinoatrial node (SAN), the ...

Cardiac conduction system malformations in heterotaxy result from dysregulated Pitx2 expression

open access: yesJCI Insight
The cardiac conduction system (CCS) develops asymmetrically along the body axes. In heterotaxy syndrome — resulting from aberrant left-right axis formation — atrial and atrioventricular conduction defects can cause life-threatening arrhythmias.
