This research work is proposed at reporting heat transfer on the peristaltic flow of an electrically conducting fluid in a tapered microvessels under the lubrication theory. The proposed geometry analyzes the blood flow in the heart vessels and maintain the pressure level in the human body. The solutions for the distribution of axial velocity, temperature distribution, pressure gradient and stream function have been obtained analytically. The influences of many evolving parameters on the flow characteristics are revealed and deliberated with the assist of figures. The mathematical outcomes show that the trapped bolus enhances in size with increasing slip parameter but decreases with the increase of Grashof number.
