Stress-induced pacemaker desynchronization in the sinoatrial node

Examines a model where physiological stressors disrupt synchronization across sinoatrial node pacemaker cells, explaining transition-linked arrhythmias and vulnerability.

Key Takeaways
  • Model remains a reduced phenomenological framework rather than a calibrated anatomical simulation
  • Additional human-relevant substrate-forming context is habitual upright posture
  • Stress-related arrhythmogenesis can be framed as an interaction between substrate and perturbation
