In order to aid students in the understanding of cardiac embryogenesis, seven three-dimensional fiberglass models depicting stages eleven to eighteen of cardiac embryogenesis, and one model of a mature heart were constructed. The details of these models, and a review of cardiac embryogenesis is presented. The results we have had with these models in the teaching of cardiac embryogenesis to medical students, cardiac technologists, and nurses have been encouraging, and this approach to teaching is highly recommended.
