2. Cardiac conduction system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_conduction_system

   The conduction system consists of specialized heart muscle cells, situated within the myocardium. [3] There is a skeleton of fibrous tissue that surrounds the conduction system which can be seen on an ECG. Dysfunction of the conduction system can cause irregular heart rhythms including rhythms that are too fast or too slow.

3. Cardiac physiology - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_physiology

   Cardiac physiology or heart function is the study of healthy, unimpaired function of the heart: involving blood flow; myocardium structure; the electrical conduction system of the heart; the cardiac cycle and cardiac output and how these interact and depend on one another.

5. Bundle of His - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bundle_of_His

   The bundle of His (BH) [1]: 58 or His bundle (HB) [1]: 232 (/ h ɪ s / "hiss" [2]) is a collection of heart muscle cells specialized for electrical conduction.As part of the electrical conduction system of the heart, it transmits the electrical impulses from the atrioventricular node (located between the atria and the ventricles) to the point of the apex of the fascicular branches via the ...

6. Cardiac action potential - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_action_potential

   In the heart's conduction system electrical activity that originates from the sinoatrial node (SAN) is propagated via the His-Purkinje network, the fastest conduction pathway within the heart. The electrical signal travels from the sinoatrial node, which stimulates the atria to contract, to the atrioventricular node (AVN) , which slows down ...

7. Bachmann's bundle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bachmann's_bundle

   In the heart's conduction system, Bachmann's bundle (also called the Bachmann bundle or the interatrial band) [1] is a branch of the anterior internodal tract that resides on the inner wall of the left atrium. It is a broad band of cardiac muscle that passes from the right atrium, between the superior vena cava and the ascending aorta. [2]

8. Purkinje fibers - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purkinje_fibers

   They conduct cardiac action potentials more quickly and efficiently than any of the other cells in the heart's electrical conduction system. [4] Purkinje fibers allow the heart's conduction system to create synchronized contractions of its ventricles, and are essential for maintaining healthy and consistent heart rhythm. [5]

9. Sinoatrial node - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinoatrial_node

   These cells produce an electrical impulse known as a cardiac action potential that travels through the electrical conduction system of the heart, causing it to contract. In a healthy heart, the SA node continuously produces action potentials, setting the rhythm of the heart (sinus rhythm), and so is known as the heart's natural pacemaker.
