sCongenital heart disease is the leading cause of infant death and affects approximately one in
every 100 babies born in the United States. The study of cardiovascular development has
acquired new momentum in last twenty years due to the advancement of modern molecular biology
and new available equipments and techniques. In Cardiovascular Development: Methods and
Protocols expert researchers in the field in the field detail many of the methods which are now
commonly used in the field of cardiovascular development research. These include methods and
technique for using different organisms for cardiovascular developmental research using cell
and molecular biology methods to study cardiovascular development as well as other available
techniques for cardiovascular development research. Written in the highly successful Methods in
Molecular Biology(TM) series format chapters include introductions to their respective topics
lists of the necessary materials and reagents step-by-step readily reproducible laboratory
protocols and key tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and
practical Cardiovascular Development: Methods and Protocols seeks to aid scientists in
understanding new state-of-the-art techniques in the field of cardiovascular development
research including in vivo imaging and Bioinformatics.
