Development of the coronary vasculature. Platelet/endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1/CD31 immunostaining of murine embryonic day (E)11.5 to E14.5 and E16.5 hearts demonstrating the progression of coronary growth during development. Between E11.5 and E13.5, the developing coronary vasculature plexus emerges from the atrial ventricular groove (red bracket) and grows in a wavelike pattern to cover both ventricles by E13.5. Between E14.5 and E16.5, the coronary vascular plexus remodels, giving rise to the mature coronary vasculature.
