Summary
A brief account of early embryo formation is followed by an overview of the salient features of heart development. Following this there is a detailed treatment of the processes involved in the construction of the functioning embryonic heart, including a focus on the genes involved. Short sections are devoted to pericardium, coronary arteries and conduction system, the systemic veins and the systemic arteries. Finally, the fetal circulation and its adaptation to post-natal life are described.
