摘要 |
This invention provides pacemaker systems comprising (1) an electronic pacemaker, and (2) a biological pacemaker, wherein the biological pacemaker comprises a cell that functionally expresses a chimeric hyperpolarization-activated, cyclic nucleotide-gated (HCN) ion channel at a level effective to induce pacemaker current in the cell. The invention also provides related biological pacemakers, atrioventricular bridges, methods of making same, and methods of treating a subject afflicted with a cardiac rhythm disorder. |
