Catecholamines increase heart rate by augmenting the cAMP-responsive hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated channel 4 pacemaker current (I(f)) and by promoting inward Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger current (I(NCX)) by a "Ca(2+) clock" mechanism in sinoatrial nodal cells (SANCs). The importance, identity, and function of signals that connect I(f) and Ca(2+) clock mechanisms are uncertain and controversial, but the multifunctional Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) is required for physiological heart rate responses to ?-adrenergic receptor (?-AR) stimulation. The aim of this study was to measure the contribution of the Ca(2+) clock and CaMKII to cardiac pacing independent of ?-AR agonist stimulation.
