Control of the Cardiac Cycle
• Sinoatrial node (SAN) aka pacemaker – top of right atrium
• Atrioventricular node (AVN) – top of the inter-ventricular septum
• Purkyne Tissue – runs down the inter-ventricular septum

P = atrial excitation
QRS = excitation of ventricles
T = diastole
Heart Attacks
• Heart muscle respires fatty acids• Respiration of fat can only happen aerobically,
so the heart needs oxygen• A blood clot in the coronary artery starves
part of the heart muscle of oxygen and those cells die
