The extension of the Spitzer-Harm theory of heat conduction to steep temperature gradients requires the computation of non-Maxwellian corrections to the isotropic part of the electron distribution. We develop a simplified theory for a steady-state, high-Z plasma, employing the diffusion approximation. Modification of the heat flux, phase space densities, and fluxes, and the self-consistency of our results will be studied in detail.
