In the innermost region of the advective accretion disk orbiting a black holeof high spin, the inertia of heat stored in the accreting gas is comparable tothat of the gas rest mass itself. Accounting for this effect, we deriveadditional terms in the disk structure equations, and show that the heatinertia plays a significant role in the global energy conservation and dynamicsof accretion in the relativistic advective disks.Comment: 6 pages, Latex, submitted to ApJ
