Cardiac myocytes have four main electrophysiological properties: automaticity which allows them to spontaneously depolarize, conductivity which enables electrical signals to propagate between cells, excitability meaning they can respond to electrical stimuli, and contraction where they can mechanically shorten upon electrical activation.
