PY - 2017 T2 - Neonatal Cardiology, 3e AB - As described in Chapter 1, the developing mammalian heart undergoes a series of complex and tightly regulated processes during structural organogenesis. Considerable understanding of the genetic control of these pathways has been gained in recent years. Of equal importance are the functional changes in cardiac contraction and relaxation that accompany morphological development of the cardiovascular system. However, compared to our understanding of structural organogenesis, much less is known about the genetic, molecular, and cellular processes that control cardiac contractile function during embryonic development and fetal maturation.
