K+ ions rush out of the cell‚ and the net result is rapid repolarization that restores the resting potential. ATRIAL DIASTOLE/ VENTRICULAR SYSTOLE. During atrial repolarization‚ the ventricles are depolarizing (seen as the QRS on the EKG) because the impulse has passed the AV node‚ travelled along the septum within the bundle of His‚ down the bundle branches and Purkinje fibers. The moderator band is a ‘shortcut’ so that the impulse stimulates the papillary muscles of the right ventricle

This will restrict blood flow to the heart‚ and so the heart will
