Hearts, neck posture and metabolic intensity of sauropod dinosaurs
, 2000 Hypothesized upright neck postures in sauropod dinosaurs require systemic arterial blood pressures reaching 700 mmHg at the heart. Recent data on ventricular wall stress indicate that their left ventricles would have weighed 15 times those of similarly ...

Sauropod Necks: Are They Really for Heat Loss?
PLoS ONE, 2013 Three-dimensional digital models of 16 different sauropods were used to examine the scaling relationship between metabolism and surface areas of the whole body, the neck, and the tail in an attempt to see if the necks could have functioned as radiators for the elimination of excess body heat.
