Hearts of 52 pups were studied histochemically and electron-microscopically at various stages of total-body hypothermia. The dependence of the myocardiocyte metabolic alterations on the factors acting in the myocardium during different stages of hypothermia and during subsequent warming is shown. The vitality of the cooled heart is largely determined by retaining not only of its function, but by its anatomo-physiological links with the organism.
