Summary: Sinoatrial node (SAN) disease mechanisms are poorly understood, and therapeutic options are limited. Natriuretic peptide(s) (NP) are cardioprotective hormones whose effects can be mediated partly by the NP receptor C (NPR-C). We investigated the

The sinoatrial node, a heterogeneous pacemaker structure [PDF]
This article focuses on the regional heterogeneity of the mammalian sinoatrial (SA) node in terms of cell morphology, pacemaker activity, action potential configuration and conduction, densities of ionic currents (i(Na), i(Ca,L), i(to), i(K,r), i(K,s) and i(f)), expression of gap junction proteins (Cx40, Cx43 and Cx45), autonomic regulation, and ageing.

Computer modelling of the sinoatrial node [PDF]
Over the past decades patch-clamp experiments have provided us with detailed information on the different types of ion channels that are present in the cardiac cell membrane. Sophisticated cardiac cell models based on these data can help us understand how the different types of ion channels act together to produce the cardiac action potential.

SARS-CoV-2 Infection Induces Ferroptosis of Sinoatrial Node Pacemaker Cells
Background: Increasing evidence suggests that cardiac arrhythmias are frequent clinical features of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Sinus node damage may lead to bradycardia.

Cycle length restitution in sinoatrial node cells: a theory for understanding spontaneous action potential dynamics. [PDF]
Normal heart rhythm (sinus rhythm) is governed by the sinoatrial node, a specialized and highly heterogeneous collection of spontaneously active myocytes in the right atrium.

Junctional Pacemaker May Replace the Sinoatrial Node
Junctional rhythm is usually seen in the clinic with different causes. We report a case of bicuspid aortic valve accompanied by sinoatrial node dysfunction.

Abstract Epilepsy is a heterogeneous disorder characterized by spontaneous seizures and behavioral comorbidities. The underlying mechanisms of seizures and epilepsy across various syndromes lead to diverse clinical presentation and features. Similarly, animal models of epilepsy arise from numerous dissimilar inciting events.

The cardiac cycle starts when an action potential is produced by pacemaking cells in the sinoatrial node. This cycle is repeated approximately 100 000 times in humans and 1 million times in mice per day, imposing a monumental metabolic demand on the ...
