Development of the cardiac pacemaking and conduction system

Abstract excerpt

The heartbeat is initiated and coordinated by a heterogeneous set of tissues, collectively referred to as the pacemaking and conduction system (PCS). While the structural and physiological properties of these specialized tissues has been studied for more than a century, distinct new insights have emerged in recent years. The tools of molecular biology and the lessons of modern embryology are beginning to uncover...
