To the editor:

In a recent paper in Cardiovascular Research, Verheijck et al. [1] examine the important topic of the electrophysiological properties of the sinoatrial (SA) node in relation to the distribution of different connexin types. It is certainly pleasing to see that these authors' results and conclusions on connexin distribution in the mouse SA node in many respects parallel our earlier published findings in the rabbit [2]. Unfortunately, however, these parallels are largely concealed to the reader by the authors' confused representation of our work. Muddling up citations (as, for example, in their statement referring to our report of connective tissue between the atrium and nodal tissue; Ref. [2], not Ref. [3] as cited) would alone be too trivial a matter to merit comment. However, the authors . . . [Full Text of this Article]
