Key Points

The aim is to examine the normal anatomy and histology of the cardiac conduction system and discuss ongoing debates regarding atrial conduction.
Review of anatomical and histological features of the sinus node, atrial myocardium, and interatrial conduction.
Discussion of controversies regarding atrial conduction pathways.
Identified normal features of the sinus node and atrial myocardium.
Highlighted the debate on atrial conduction mechanisms, specifically the role of specialized cells versus internodal tracts.

Implication

Offers clinicians a concise anatomical reference for conduction assessment; leaves open the specialized cells versus internodal tracts debate.

Abstract

Normal anatomic and histologic features of the sinus node, atrial myocardium, and interatrial conduction of the cardiac impulse are reviewed. The controversy surrounding atrial conduction via specialized atrial cells versus specific internodal tracts (between sinus and atrioventricular nodes) is discussed.
