Abstract
A precise sequence of morphological events is associated with the process of myofibrillogenesis in vitro in neonatal cardiac myocytes (Hilenski et al 1991; Sharp et al 1993; Sanger et al 1984). A similar set of sequences probably occurs in vivo; however, the rate of formation is more gradual, thus making investigation of precise events more difficult. In vitro analyses of morphological and biochemical events associated with myofibrillogenesis can provide an understanding of these processes in normal heart development, response to stimulation, and cardiac hypertrophy.
