A novel conceptual model of heart rate autonomic modulation based on a small-world modular structure and heterogeneous innervation of the sinoatrial node
2023-08-07
Abstract excerpt
The current theory of cardiac pacemaker rate modulation by the autonomic nervous system is based on the concept that a primary pacemaker cell or a group of cells in the center of the sinoatrial node (SAN) can change its AP firing rate within a broad range, driving respective myocardium contractions to commensurate body demands. Experimental data show, however, that pacemaker cells are extremely heterogeneous, with...
