English term or phrase: sinus node

Definition from Medical University of South Carolina:
bundle of excitatory tissue found in the right atrium that functions as the pacemaker of the heart

Example sentence(s):

The autonomic nervous system, the same part of the nervous system as controls the blood pressure, controls the firing of the sinus node to trigger the start of the cardiac cycle. medterms.com
If the sinus node is not functioning normally -- due to damage from surgery, drugs, congenital heart defects or other causes -- the heartbeat may become very slow with a decrease in blood pressure. University of California
Extrinsic sinus mechanisms of sinus node dysfunction could be drug effects or due to autonomic influences. The important drugs which could suppress sinus node function are beta blockers, non-dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers (e.g. verapamil and diltiazem), digoxin, clonidine, methyl dopa, class IA, IC and III antiarrhythmic agents and lithium.

Definition from Wikipedia:
Sinusknutan eller SA-knutan (sino-atrialknutan) är en av två ansamlingar av pacemaker-celler i hjärtats högra förmak som är en del av hjärtats retledningssystem. Sinusknutan sitter upptill och baktill i förmaket, nära vena cava superior (övre hålvenen) och AV-knutan.

Example sentence(s):

De elektriska impulser som sköljer över hjärtat och som man kan registrera med hjälp av ett EKG, kommer från kroppens egna impulsgivare som sitter i höger förmaksvägg. Impulsgivaren kallas för sinusknutan. - Fass
Hjärtmuskelcellernas sammandragning samordnas med hjälp av hjärtats retledningssystem som leder elektriska impulser från sinusknutan. - Nationalencyklopedin
Sinusknutan eller sinusnoden, som den ibland kallas, är belägen i övre delen av höger förmak och består av en samling unika celler som regelbundet alstrar och skickar iväg elektriska impulser över förmaken och dessa fortsätter till kamrarna (cirka 70 impulser/minut i vila). - Pacemaker-info
