Ionic mechanisms of spontaneous action potential in sinoatrial (SA) node pacemaker cells have been discussed for decades. Although a number of theoretical studies have proposed different mathematical models, no scientific consensus has been achieved yet, because of the complexity and variations in experimental findings used for developing models. Here, we introduce a theoretical method in simulation study, the lead potential analysis, which enabled us to isolate the contribution of individual currents from the secondary effect of modified channel activities. We compared three models, suggesting different ionic mechanisms (Himeno et al. model, Kurata et al. model, and Maltsev and Lakatta model), and contributions of Ca2+through activation ofINaCais estimated. Finally, the effect of catecholamine stimulation is discussed based on a SA node cell model with β1-adrenergic signaling cascade and mechanisms of the positive chronotropy are analyzed.
