In silico model suggests that interdigitation promotes robust activation of atrial cells by pacemaker cells
2024-05-17
Abstract excerpt
The heartbeat is initiated by electrical pulses generated by a specialized patch of cells called the sinoatrial node (SAN), located on top of the right upper chamber, and then passed on to the atrium. Cardiac arrhythmias may arise if these electrical pulses fail to propagate toward the atrial cells. This computational modeling study asks how the morphology of the interface between sinoatrial (pacemaker) cells and...
