Abstract(in English) A sinoatrial node (cardiac pacemaker) cell generates an electrical signal (action potential) spontaneously and periodically, to make persistent contractions and relaxations of heart. The pacemaker activity of sinoatrial node cell is deeply related to various ion channels in its cell membrane. Since the abnormalities of ion channels cause serious arrhythmia, this paper uses the Zhang model of sinoatrial node cells to investigate the relation between rhythm (frequency of action potential generation) and ion channels. The Zhang model is described by the Hodgkin-Huxley-type nonlinear ordinary differential equations, are different between the regions (periphery or center) of sinoatrial node. We analyze the bifurcation structure of the Zhang model, and investigate the variability of rhythm and its sensitivity on ion channel conductances for different regions. Moreover, these results are also compared to those of another sinoatrial node cell model (Yanagihara-Noma-Irisawa model). The above results are expected to be useful in the treatment of arrhythmia.
