Abstract
Hypothermia causes a significant increase in the heterogeneity of depolarisation and repolarisation. There is evidence to suggest that SR is protective with most of the increase in heterogeneity occurring with cooling to 34 °C. This raises the possibility that the current target temperatures for therapeutic hypothermia may be safely lowered to provide a gain in cerebral protection.
