Steps in CCS develoment in zebrafish:

- Initially, a linear conduction travels across the heart tube from the sinus venosus to the OFT (20–24 hours postfertilization (hpf)).
- next, a significant AV conduction delay develops during cardiac chamber formation (36–48 hpf)
- as the heart loops and develops ventricular trabeculations (72–96 hpf), an immature fast conduction network develops within the ventricle
- finally, this fast conduction network fully matures to an apexto-base activation pattern when the ventricular apex has
formed.
