title: Multichannel myocardial temperature probe.
abstract: We present a new system to measure myocardial temperature at multiple points in myocardium. This system consists of a probe with multiple thermocouples, a data collector, and a personal computer. We have demonstrated a change in distribution of temperature in myocardium during hypothermic cardioplegic arrest.
