Abstract

The role of cellular heterogeneity in frequency entrainment of the primary cardiac pacemaker has been investigated using an idealized two dimensional model of the rabbit sinoatrial node and surrounding atrial tissue. Simulation results are presented which support the hypothesis, that regional variation in action potential waveshape contributes to pacemaker synchronization in-vivo.
