Development of Cardiovascular Systems cover

This book reviews cardiovascular development from the cellular to the organ level. The first section focuses on the molecular, cellular, and integrative mechanisms. The second section discusses cardiovascular development in different animals. The third section covers environmental factors and the effects of disease.This book is a unique overview of cardiovascular development from the cellular to the organ level across a broad range of species. The first section focuses on the molecular, cellular, and integrative mechanisms that determine cardiovascular development. The second section has eight chapters that summarise cardiovascular development in invertebrate and vertebrate systems. The third section discusses the effects of disease and environmental and morphogenetic influences on non-mammalian and mammalian cardiovascular development. It includes strategies for the management of congenital cardiovascular malformations in utero and postnatally. The book will interest graduate students and researchers who work in the fields of developmental biology, physiology, and molecular and paediatric cardiology.
