• The role of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) in the heart conduction system is unclear.
• Any reverse conduction through the heart conduction system is called a "retrograde conduction".
• Heart Conduction System The sinoatrial node (SAN), located within the wall of the right atrium (RA), normally generates electrical impulses that are carried by special conducting tissue to the atrioventricular node (AVN).
• [Purkynje fibers of the heart conduction system--history and the present time]It has been 160 years now since Purkynje published the finding of conduction fibers in the heart in Archiv f.
