Hyperpolarized 13C Magnetic Resonance Reveals Early- and Late-Onset Changes to <i>in vivo</i> Pyruvate Metabolism in the Failing Heart
20 Dec 2012
Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Impaired energy metabolism has been implicated in the pathogenesis of heart failure. Hyperpolarized (13)C magnetic resonance (MR), in which (13)C-labelled metabolites are followed using MR imaging (MRI) or spectroscopy (MRS), has enabled non-invasive assessment of pyruvate metabolism. We investigated the hypothesis that if we serially examined a model of heart failure using non-invasive hyperpolarized...
