- Summary:
- Kirby posits an understanding of heart tube formation from the cardiogenic fields. The book covers topics that are often omitted from discussions of heart development, such as myocardial function, cardiac innervation, conduction system development, evolutionary developmental biology of the heart, and myocardial stem cells.
