A 63year old man suddenly felt a crushing pain beneath his sternum. He became weak and began to sweat profusely. He called 911 and was taken to the hospital where it was confirmed that he had suffered a heart attack due to occlusion in a major coronary artery.
The patient had cardiac rhythm disturbances within minutes after he felt the chest pain. He was given an anti-arrhythmic drug that inactivated many of the fast Na+channels in the heart.
4.What effect would this drug have on the action potential in the SA node?
Soon after the patient arrived at the hospital, the activity in the vagus nerve fibers to the heart increased reflexively.
