The contribution of the inferior endocardial cushion of the atrioventricular canal to cardiac septation and to the development of the atrioventricular valves was studied in the chick embryo by in vivo labelling techniques. The study was performed in White Leghorn chick embryos in which the dorsal cu

Background: Before septation the entire atrioventricular canal is connected with the ventricular inlet segment (primitive left ventricle), whereas the mature heart exhibits an exclusive connection of the right atrium to the right ventricle. The process which is responsible for this change is controv
## Abstract Exact determination of the orifice area in stenotic valve disease is essential to guide therapy. With the standard imaging methods, the orifice area has to be calculated by empiricallyβderived formulas, which may be susceptible to changes in hemodynamic status, leading to wrong therapeu
Extracellular proteases may play an important role in the regulation of cell migration and remodeling of the extracellular matrix during development. In this study, we have examined the embryonic avian heart for the expression of matrix metalloproteases. The 72-kDa type IV collagenase, MMP-2, was de
