conduction system of the heart
1. AP in ventricular myocyte
  1. phase 0: Na+ influx
  2. phase 1: Na+ close & K+ open
  3. phase 2: Ca2+ influx (L-type)
  4. phase 3: K+ efflux
  5. phase 4: K+ conductance
2. AP in SA node
  1. phase 0: Ca2+ influx
  2. phase 4: Na+ influx by HCN channels
  3. phase 3: K+ efflux
Heart anatomy
