Heart development requires compaction of the ventricular wall into a dense myocardium at mid-gestation. Here, Rhee and colleagues show that the chromatin remodeller Ino80 is critical for the formation of the coronary vasculature, and show that coronary vessels are needed for successful cardiac compaction during embryonic development.
