Overview

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.

Topics Covered

It also covers topics that are often omitted from discussions of heart development, such as myocardial function, cardiac innervation, and conduction development. Clinical correlates will be discussed throughout.

Illustrations

The book is beautifully illustrated by Karen Waldo, an artist who has collaborated with Dr. Kirby for many years.
