Resident cardiac macrophages are not required for normal atrioventricular node conduction

Sami Al-Othman, Yakun Wu, Pierre Fontanaud…·Alicia D’Souza

This study challenges the role of resident cardiac macrophages in AV node conduction by showing no evidence of Cx43-mediated coupling and no effect of macrophage depletion on AV electrical activity.
