Myocardial action potential. Phase 0 rapid depolarization is mediated by sodium entry into cells. Phase 1 and 3 repolarization results from potassium efflux from cells. Balanced slow calcium entry and potassium exit cause the plateau in phase 2. Potassium reenters and sodium exits cells during phase 4 recovery.
