Figure 1

(a) a diagram demonstrates If current and other ionic currents in phase 4 of action potential. For simplicity I caL and I caT are shown together as I ca. (b) Inhibition of I f phase 4 of action potential leads to reduction of slope from a to b. This results in prolonged phase 4 or firing frequency of action potential, thus slower heart rate.
