Cover Story: Cardiovascular development in higher vertebrates involves a number of complex processes that are temporally and spatially orchestrated: migration, proliferation, differentiation, programmed cell death, and interaction of cardiac progenitor cells of different origins. In order to better understand this complex process, it may be helpful to divide it into several regions or steps. As a matter of fact, most congenital heart diseases that we encounter in our daily practice are specific developmental abnormalities in one of these regions. Therefore, this concept is also important for understanding the etiology of congenital heart disease. View this paper
