Cardiovascular development refers to the intricate process by which the heart and blood vessels develop and mature in an organism, typically during embryonic and fetal development. This field of research aims to understand the genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying the formation of the cardiovascular system, as well as how anomalies in this process can lead to congenital heart defects and other cardiovascular diseases. It also explores how the cardiovascular system adapts and changes throughout life in response to external stimuli and disease. This area of research is critical for advancing our understanding of heart health and improving the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of cardiovascular disorders.
