    The SA node originates an actionpotential that subsequently spreads

    through the cardiac chambers. Thenumbers on the heart illustrate inmilliseconds the elapsed timeinterval between the origin of thedepolarization at the SA node andthe appearance of thedepolarization in the differentregions of the heart. The tracing onthe right shows the temporalrelationship between themyocardial action potentials and theECG. The P wave represents atrialmuscle depolarization, the QRScomplex represents ventricularmuscle depolarization, and the Twave represents ventricular musclerepolarization.

    Channel Gatingmechanism

    Functional role

    K+

    channel (inward rectifier)

    Voltage

    Maintains high K+

    permeability during phase 4

    Its decay contributes to diastolic depolarization

    Its suppression during phases 0 to 2 contributes to plateau

    Na+

    channel (fast)

    Voltage

    Accounts for phase 0 of action potential

    Inactivation may contribute to phase 1 of action potential

    K+

    channel (transient outward)Voltage

    Contributes to phase 1 of action potential

    Ca2+ channel (slow inward, L channels) BothContributes to phase 2 of action potential

    Inactivation may contribute to phase 3 of action potential

    Is enhanced by sympathetic stimulation and

    -adrenergic agents

    K+ channel (delayed rectifier) VoltageCauses phase 3 of action potential

    Is enhanced by increased intracellular Ca2+

    K+

    channel (ATP-sensitive)Increases K

    +permeability when [ATP] is low

    K+ channel (acetylcholine-activated) Ligand

    Responsible for effects of vagal stimulation

    Decreases diastolic depolarization (and the heart rate)

    Hyperpolarizes resting membrane potential

    Shortens phase 2 of the action potential

    Na+ (pacemaker current) Both

    Is activated by hyperpolarization and contributes to the

    diastolic depolarization

    Is enhanced by sympathetic stimulation and

    beta-adrenergic agentsIs suppressed by vagal stimulation
