Understanding Your Pulse Rate: How the Heart's Electrical System Works
The heart's electrical conduction system generates the pulse rate:
- SA node (right atrium) – natural pacemaker; fires impulses causing atrial contraction.
- AV node – delays impulses slightly, allowing atrial filling before ventricular contraction.
- Bundle of His – conducts impulses to ventricles, causing ventricular contraction.
