IMPORTANCE OF PRE-POTENTIAL
The unstable RMP of SA nodal fibers is called as PACEMAKER POTENTIAL or PRE-POTENTIAL. the inherent leakiness of the sinusnodal fibers to Na+ and Ca++ ions causes their self-excitation.*** Therefore, pre-potential is responsible for the automaticity of the SA nodal fibers.
