Notice that the membrane potential is Action Threshold never a flat line. +10 potential 0 2 Depolarization The action –10 potential begins when the 2 2 pacemaker potential reaches –20 threshold. Depolarization is due –30 3 3 to Ca2+ influx through Ca2+ –40 channels. –50 3 Repolarization is due to 1 1 2+ –60 Pacemaker Ca channels inactivating and potential K+ channels opening. This allows –70 + Membrane potential(mV) K efflux, which brings the membrane potential back to its most negative voltage.

Infant undergoing an electrocardiogram (ECG) ECG Cardiac Arrest Normal sinus rhythm Junctional rhythm Normal ECG trace (sinus rhythm) The SA node is nonfunctional. As a result: • P waves are absent. • The AV node paces the heart at 40–60 beats per minute. Second-degree heart block Ventricular fibrillation The AV node fails to conduct some SA node impulses. Electrical activity is disorganized. Action potentials occur • As a result, there are more P waves than QRS waves. randomly throughout the ventricles. • In this tracing, there are usually two P waves for each • Results in chaotic, grossly abnormal ECG deflections.
