Abstract
⺠AV node provides the physiological delay between atrial and ventricular contraction. ⺠Presence of Cav1.3 Ca2+ channels in AV node in addition to Cav1.2. ⺠Cav1.3 plays an important role in AV node automaticity. ⺠Cav1.2 channel cannot functionally substitute for Cav1.3 channel in AV node. ⺠Identification of AV node-specific ion channels may provide a new therapeutic target.
