Differential Distribution of Cardiac Ion Channel Expression as a Basis for Regional Specialization in Electrical Function

Abstract

The cardiac electrical system is designed to ensure the appropriate rate and timing of contraction in all regions of the heart, which are essential for effective cardiac function. Well-controlled cardiac electrical activity depends on specialized properties of various components of the system, including the sinoatrial node, atria, atrioventricular node, His-Purkinje system, and ventricles. Cardiac electrical specialization was first recognized in the mid 1800s, but over the past 15 years, an enormous amount has been learned about how specialization is achieved by differential expression of cardiac ion channels. More recently, many aspects of the molecular basis have been revealed. Although the field is potentially vast, an appreciation of key elements is essential for any clinician or researcher wishing to understand modern cardiac electrophysiology. This article reviews the major regionally determined features of cardiac electrical function, discusses underlying ionic bases, and summarizes present knowledge of ion channel subunit distribution in relation to functional specialization.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
