threshold is reached more quickly and heart rate would increase
Cells with unstable resting membrane potentials, such as pacemaker cells in the heart or neurons in the brain, can continually depolarize due to the presence of a "funny" current (If) that slowly depolarizes the cell until it reaches the threshold for an action potential to be generated.
They Are A Special Group Of Nerve Cells. Nerve Signals From The Brain Control The Pacemaker, Making It Go Faster Or Slower When Required. Specialist cells in the heart which have autorhythmicity.

Pacemaker
The SA node is the "pacemaker" of the heart. Cells in the SA node are called "pacemaker" cells and they direct the contraction rate of the entire heart by generating action potentials.
cardiac muscle
depolarizes to its threshold potential before other pacemakers in the heart
A pacemaker is a device inserted into the heart to regulate the heart beats or heart rate
