m gates
activation gates Na
h gates
inactivation gates Na
rapid depolarization
phase 0
Na perm increase
brief repolarization
phase 1
K efflux
Ca moves in
plateau phase
phase 2
Ca influx and K efflux
repolarization
phase 3
K efflux
gradual depolarization
phase 4
Na leak balanced by K efflux
SA node
Na current (fast)
AV node
Ca current (slow)
early afterdepolarization
interrupt phase 3
delayed afterdepolarization
interrupts phase 4
4 ways antiarrhythmics work
1 decreased phase 4 slope
2 increased threshold
3 increased max diastolic potential
4 increased action potential duration
