The diastolic, slow ‘‘pacemaker’’depolarisation underlies spontaneous activity in cardiac pacemaker cells. Which mechanism drives it? Any depolarisation requires a net inward current, and the idea that a “decaying” outward Kf current represents a pacemaker mechanism may be misleading since outward currents can only hyperpolarise. Searching for a pacemaker mechanism implies looking for an inward component flowing in the MDP range. We shall discuss two possible candidates: the hyperpolarisationactivated If (often termed “pacemaker”) current, and the time-independent “background” Ib current. Other contenders, such as calcium components, activate on depolarization and are unlikely to contribute normally to early diastolic depolarisation.
