Summary Introduction

Introduction:

The resting state or the polarized state is the state during which the heart is relaxed and is not generating an action potential. Depolarization of the heart muscles refers to the rapid inward flow of the sodium ions through sodium ion channels. Repolarization is the process through which the cardiac cells return to the resting state.
