Steady State Heat Transfer in the Left Ventricle

  • Chapter
Heart Perfusion, Energetics, and Ischemia

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

Abstract

Most of the recent literature concerned with the analysis of heat transfer in the heart has employed the model of thermal balance introduced by Pennes (1948). This has been referred to as the bio-heat transfer equation.
