Resumen

El nodo sinusal constituye el marcapasos fisiológico del corazón. Diferentes estados fisiopatológicos conducen a una reducción de su función, lo que es llamado en la clínica, disfunción sinusal. Sin embargo, para la mejor comprensión de su estado de enfermedad se requiere dilucidar cómo opera en condiciones normales. Las nuevas evidencias señalan que el automatismo del nodo sinusal se produce por la interacción del reloj de membrana y el reloj de calcio, lo que le confiere un fuerte carácter que lo protege contra fallas de funcionamiento. Se presentan las evidencias actuales sobre la sincronía celular dentro del nodo sinusal, así como la forma de propagación eléctrica y el acoplamiento fuente-sumidero. Además, se describen recientes hallazgos anatómicos e histológicos.
