The cardiac electrical activity is produced and controlled by the Sinoatrial (SA) node in the right atrium and the Atrioventricular (AV) node in the interatrial septum. The electrical signals move through the cardiac conduction system fibres causing the atria and ventricles to contract and relax regularly between 60-100 bpm [1].when those electrical signals are interrupted as a result of a damage in the conduction system‚ the heart rate would become irregular or would either increase resulting in

As the postsynaptic cells on the muscle cell membrane receive the acetylcholine‚ the channels for the cations sodium and potassium are opened. These cations produce a net depolarization of the cell membrane and this electrical signal travels along the muscle fibers. Through
