Functional Microdomains in Heart’s Pacemaker: A Step Beyond Classical Electrophysiology and Remodeling
Spontaneous beating of the sinoatrial node (SAN), the primary pacemaker of the heart, is initiated, sustained, and regulated by a complex system that integrates ion channels and transporters on the cell membrane surface (often referred to as “membrane clock”) with subcellular calcium handling machin...
