Everything about Pacemaker potential
Electrical potential difference in the heart
In the pacemaking cells of the heart, the pacemaker potential is the slow, positive increase in voltage across the cell's membrane, that occurs between the end of one action potential and the beginning of the next. It is responsible for the self-generated rhythmic firing (automaticity) of pacemaker cells. Wikipedia →
