No immediate clinical implications; leaves open the mechanistic role of endocardial cushions in embryonic flow pending in vivo confirmation.
Computational modeling suggests that endocardial cushions are responsible for the transition from peristaltic to pulsatile flow in the early embryonic heart.
Taber et al. (2006) studied this question.
