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.
