Abstract
Distribution of myocardial blood flow was studied during extracorporeal circulation in normal dog hearts. Clinical modalities frequently used to facilitate technical maneuvers were evaluated for their effects on distribution of blood flow and compared to ultrastructural changes. Results do not indicate that changes in distribution alone are responsible for subendocardial ischemia. Anoxia and resultant edema are more important. Protection is provided by topical hypothermia.
