| Abstract: | In anaesthetised rabbits at normal body temperature, the earliest ventricles' epicardial recovery occurs at the heart apex and adjacent left ventricle's surface whereas the latest one occurs at the epicardium of the right ventricle's base. A decrease in the mediastinum temperature to 32 degrees C reversed the recovery sequence. Following the cooling of the heart, the longest prolongation of the activation-recovery interval occurred at the heart apex area and the lowest one--at the right ventricle base. |
