Offering an understanding of heart tube formation from the cardiogenic fields, this illustrated book covers topics such as myocardial function, cardiac innervation, conduction system development, evolutionary developmental biology of the heart, and myocardial stem cells.

This is the only in-depth, single author survey of heart development. It will provide a more systematic, up-to-date synthesis of the subject than any other volume, spanning the range from classical anatomical studies to recent findings in molecular biology. It also covers topics that are often omitted from discussions of heart development, such as myocardial function, cardiac innervation, and conduction development and clinical correlates will be discussed throughout. The book is beautifully illustrated by Karen Waldo, an artist who has collaborated with Dr. Kirby for many years.
