Abstract excerpt
The sympathetic nervous system increases heart rate by activating beta adrenergic receptors and increasing cAMP levels in myocytes in the sinoatrial node. The molecular basis for this response is not well understood; however, the cardiac funny current (I(f)) is thought to be among the end effectors for cAMP signaling in sinoatrial myocytes. I(f) is produced by hyperpolarization-activated cyclic...
