| pubmed-article:11164852 | pubmed:abstractText | Within the adult heart, it is convention to distinguish the conduction system and working (atrial and ventricular) myocardium. The adult conduction system (CS) comprises the sinoatrial (SAN), and atrioventricular (AVN) nodes, the atrioventricular bundle (AVB), the bundle branches and the peripheral Purkinje fibers, each of which display distinct functional properties and distinct profile of gene expression. Characterization of the mouse cardiac conduction system during development is rudimentary at present, even though genetically-modified mice are an increasing source of information regarding cardiac function and embryonic heart development. | lld:pubmed |
