An approximation of cardiac dimensions in the human embryo at Carnegie stage 22
Introduction: Cardiac prenatal growth has been a topic of research, and it has allowed establishing the normal curve of fetal heart volume. Objective: To obtain, in a novel way in our country, the volume of the embryonic heart at Carnegie stage 22, at week 8 of development. Method: Two human embryos...

The two specimens were processed by paraffin technique, their cuts were digitized and the heart areas were measured in all serial sections of the heart.
