Temperature Distribution and Transport of Heat in the Canine Myocardium

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: NATO Advanced Science Institutes Series ((NSSA,volume 62))

Abstract

Under aerobic conditions energy is liberated in the heart by conversion of substrates into water and carbon dioxide. It leaves this organ in the form of work and heat. The amount of work can be determined rather precisely and with relative ease from pressure and flow in aorta and pulmonary artery (McDonald, 1974). The amount of heat produced cannot be measured so easily. This report deals with the measurement of total heat produced by the heart in the intact animal. Attempts to measure local heat production in the left ventricular wall will be discussed as well.
