The cardiac conduction system ( CCS, also called the electrical conduction system of the heart) [1] transmits the signals generated by the sinoatrial node – the heart 's pacemaker, to cause the heart muscle to contract, and pump blood through the body's circulatory system.
May 10, 2020 · This article will discuss the components of the heart’s conduction system including their anatomy and clinical significance. The heart has two main types of cells: 1. Conducting cells: generate and propagate electrical impulses. Contractile (muscle) cells: contract following receipt of electrical impulses. These cells can also propagate and ...
Cardiac electrophysiology is a branch of cardiology and basic science focusing on the electrical activities of the heart. The term is usually used in clinical context, to describe studies of such phenomena by invasive (intracardiac) catheter recording of spontaneous activity as well as of cardiac responses to programmed electrical stimulation ...
Apr 24, 2023 · The cardiac conduction system is a collection of nodes and specialised conduction cells that initiate and co-ordinate contraction of the heart muscle. It consists of: Sinoatrial node. Atrioventricular node. Atrioventricular bundle (bundle of His) Purkinje fibres.

Jun 7, 2017 · The generation and propagation of the cardiac impulse is the central function of the cardiac conduction system (CCS). Impulse initiation occurs in nodal tissues that have high levels of automaticity, but slow conduction properties. Rapid impulse propagation is a feature of the ventricular conduction system, which is essential for synchronized ...

Definition. The conducting system of heart (electrical conduction) in the heart allows the impulse that is generated by the sinoatrial node (SA node) of the heart to be propagated to (and stimulate) the cardiac muscle (myocardium).
