"CONDUCTING SYSTEM OF THE HEART"
Keywords:
Cardiac conduction system, sinoatrial node, atrioventricular node, Purkinje fibers, arrhythmia, electrocardiography, myocardium, automatismAbstract
This article comprehensively covers the cardiac conduction system - its anatomical structure, physiological function, developmental embryology, cellular structures, electrical properties of impulses, pathological changes and clinical significance. This system is the central mechanism that controls the rhythm and synchronous contraction of the heart, and the interrelationship of its components ensures the balanced functioning of cardiac activity.
