there is difference of opiniion about it between kaplan and brs. one says decreased K efflux other says slow Na influx. basic thing is that we have to bring the membrane potential closer to threshold potential. so it can be either of the two. most people say that its decreased K efflux.
there was a post by the heading stage 4 depolarization posted by me below. u can check that as well
