Figure 1 Sinus node. Trichrome stain (190×): A, control specimen; B, atrial fibrillation specimen. Note more abundant connective tissue and fewer and larger myocardial cells in the atrial fibrillation specimen when compared with the control specimen. P cells, impulse-producing cells; W cells, myocardial working cells.
