The sinoatrial node is the heart’s pacemaker because it initiates each wave of excitation with atrial contraction. The Bundle of His and other parts of the conducting system deliver the excitation to the apex of the heart so that ventricular contraction occurs in an upward sweep. Sequence of cardiac excitation
