2010 Lecture 7
Early Vascular Development
Introduction
This lecture will introduction to the events in early embryonic development that relate to mesoderm and early cardiovascular development. Most texts will separate heart development from vascular development in order to simplify their descriptions of cardiovascular development, though the two are functionally and embryonically connected. Note that we will be returning later to discuss the late development of the heart and vascular changes.
The complexity of septation, cardiac outflow separation, remodelling of the peripheral vasculature, and the pre- to post-natal changes may also contribute to the relatively large proportion of birth defects associated with this system.
