The site of origin and pattern of excitation within the human sinoatrial node (SAN) has not been directly mapped. We hypothesized that the human SAN is functionally insulated from the surrounding atrial myocardium except for several exit pathways which electrically bridge the nodal tissue and atrial myocardium. The SAN was optically mapped in coronary perfused preparations from non-failing human hearts (n=4, age 54±15 years) using dye Di-4-ANBDQBS and Blebbistatin. SAN 3D structure was reconstructed using histology. Optical recordings from the SAN had diastolic depolarization and multiple upstroke components, which corresponded to the separate excitations of the SAN and atrial layers. Excitation originated in the middle of the SAN (66±17 BPM), then slowly (1–18 cm/s) and anisotropically spread. After a 82±17 ms conduction delay within the SAN, the atrial myocardium was excited via superior, middle, and/or inferior sinoatrial conduction pathways. Atrial excitation was initiated 9.4±4.2 mm from the leading pacemaker site. The oval 14.3±1.5 × 6.7±1.6 × 1.0±0.2 mm SAN structure was functionally insulated from the atrium by connective tissue, fat, and coronary arteries, except for these pathways. These data demonstrated for the first time the location of the leading SAN pacemaker site, the pattern of excitation within the human SAN, and the conduction pathways into the right atrium. The existence of these pathways explained why, even during normal sinus rhythm, atrial breakthroughs could arise from a region parallel to the CT that is significantly larger (26.0±7.8 mm) than the area of the anatomically defined SAN.
