A pacemaker location for BK channels is a possibility that would enable direct regulation of heart rate.
From a pacemaker location BK channels might influence heart rate by modulating action potential firing and repolarisation.
The cTP het samples (n = 17), although morphologically normal, presented an intermediate behaviour both in pacemaker location distribution and in the impulse propagation profile.
When asked, he eagerly lifts up his red plaid button-down shirt to show the scars crisscrossing his chest and points to the location of his pacemaker.
The earliest activation as denoted on the NEEES three-dimensional heart model was compared with the true anatomic location of the tip of the pacemaker lead or the annotated pacing site on the CARTO 3 map.
Subjects were excluded if they had a contraindication to MRI (for example, pacemaker, cerebral aneurysm clip, cochlear implant, presence of shrapnel in strategic locations, metal in the eye, and claustrophobia), hemiparesis of either lower limb, or significant knee pain.
Subjects were excluded if any other form of arthritis was present, MRI was contradicted (for example, pacemaker, cerebral aneurysm clip, cochlear implant, presence of shrapnel in strategic locations, metal in the eye, and claustrophobia), inability to walk 50 feet without the use of assistive devices, hemiparesis of either lower limb, or planned total knee replacement.

In contrast, the stimulation protocol utilizing implanted pacemaker leads to verify the accuracy of the NEEES permitted only a limited number of pacing locations to be selected in each patient.
"A pacemaker is one thing.
