Electrocardiographic and Plasma Potassium Responses Elicited on Cooling the Chest Wall of Man

BENJAMIN KAMINER M.B.1 RALPH E. BERNSTEIN M.SC., M.B.1

1 From the Department of Physiology, University of the Witwatersrand, Medical School, Johannesburg, South Africa.

The application of ice to the anterior chest wall in human subjects resulted in retardation of repolarization of the anterior myocardium and was accompanied by a decrease in the plasma potassium. These phenomena were tentatively related to the effects of local cooling of the myocardium.
