Informs AV nodal reentry education; extends anatomic models while leaving clinical risk stratification open.
The AV node is ideally suited to act as a weigh station between atrium and ventricle. It is believed that the latter function is achieved by virtue of nodal conduction being dependent on slow channel conduction probably carried by calcium currents. The AV nodal structure allows for encouragement of decremental conduction but also allows for two or more pathways or collection of cells which may trigger reentrant arrhythmias.
