Formation of the atrioventricular septal structures in the normal mouse

Abstract

It is sometimes thought that formation of the atrioventricular septum is equated with fusion of the endocardial cushions and that failure of fusion can explain all deficiencies of atrioventricular septation. Clearly, this is simplistic, but the exact contribution of different primordia to atrioventricular septation is not well understood. To clarify this, we studied normal mouse embryos (days 10 to 15 of gestation), which were serially sectioned and examined by light microscopy. Another group of embryos was examined by scanning electron microscopy after microdissection. Our results show that development of the atrioventricular septal area is highly complex. Proper formation requires the following: remodeling of the inner heart curvature, rotation of the horns of the systemic venous sinus around the pulmonary portal, expansion of the right atrioventricular junction, formation of the muscular atrial and ventricular septa, bridging by the dextrodorsal outflow ridge and the superior endocardial cushion, fusion with the inferior margins of the venous valves, and formation of the mouth of the coronary sinus from the cranial muscular wall of the left sinus horn. Multiple primordia contribute to a central mesenchymal mass (the "septum ...Continue Reading

Atrial Filbrillation

Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. Here is the latest research.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
