Comparative evolution and design in non-vertebrate cardiovascular systems -- The teleost heart: A morphological approach -- Fish Heart Growth and Function: From Gross Morphology to Cell Signalling and Back -- A perspective on the evolution of the coronary circulation in fishes and the transition to terrestrial life -- The sarcoplasmatic reticulum in the vertebrate heart -- Evolution of the regulatory control of the vertebrate heart: the role of the contractile proteins -- Ontogenesis of myocardial function -- Basic Cardiac Development: The heart and its electrical components -- The Functional Significance of the Reptilian Heart: New Insights into an Old Question.
This book is a compilation of reviews on important aspect of cardiovascular function in vertebrates, and includes ontogenetic development in several of the major animal groups. While emphasis is placed on vertebrates, McMahon reviews the evolution and design of various invertebrates and demonstrates the many analogies on regulation of the cardiovascular systems between multicellular animals. The stunning morphology of the teleost heart of reviewed by Icardo to provide a link between structure and function, paying special attention to the outflow tract and its further evolution. More functional aspects of cardiac function in fish are covered by Tota and Garofalo, including genetics, adaptive growth and regeneration of the fish heart with emphasis on NO signaling between the endocardium and the myocardium. With outset in the variety in form and function of the piscine heart, Farrell, Farrell, Jourdan and Cox provide a novel synthesis on the co-evolution of cardiac performance and the metabolic requirements of t
