This book examines recent studies revealing that the same genes are responsible for development of parallel features between species, and that the heart develops similarly across all species. It includes research being conducted concerning cardiac development, tissue interaction, and organ formation. The text attempts to provide a greater understanding of the underlying causes of heart failure, heart muscle diseases, congenital malformations, and other heart diseases and defects.

Summary: the \"bible\" of heart development
Rating: 5
This book is affectionately known as the \"bible\" of heart development. Diagrams are excellent and very clear, and it is usable for everyone from established researchers to undergraduate students. I highly recommend this to anyone in the field of cardiology. It is well worth the hefty (to us students!) price tag.
