Abstract
The development of sinus node dysfunction in patients may be accompanied by the emergence of subsidiary atrial pacemakers (SAPs) and/or junctional escape rhythms. It has been postulated that biological modification of SAPs may provide a potential alternative to implantation of artificial pacemakers for the treatment of sinus node disease (“biological pacemakers”). We investigated the structural and functional characteristics of SAPs in a chronic goat model.
