The application of magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) to the
cardiovascular system is a relatively new phenomenon. Its ability
to noninvasively examine myocardial metabolism has led to its use
to answer basic questions in animal models of normal and diseased
myocardium. Extension of these investigations into the realm of
human myocardial metabolism has been made possible by the advent of
relatively high-field magnets with spectroscopy capabilities and
sufficient bore dimensions to allow human studies. While ongoing
and future studies promise to enhance our understanding of
myocardial metabolism, their success will, in part, depend on a
thorough understanding of the technical and biologic aspects of
cardiovascular MRS, as well as the current state of research in the
many areas encompassed by this discipline. It is with concept that
the present monograph has been written. The organization and
content should lend this book to both the beginning reader who is
interested but not conversant in cardiovascular MRS, as well as to
the active investigator who wishes to refer to a volume that deals
with the many issues of this field in a concise but complete
manner. The monograph is structured with a general overview of the
field, followed by a section addressing the technical issues of
cardiovascular MRS. The next section is devoted to biologic issues
of both normal and abnormal myocardial metabolism, primarily
devoted to investigations employing phosphorus-31. This is followed
by a section dealing with more specialized issues, generally
involving other nuclei such as protons, carbon, and sodium.
Finally, the clinical applications of cardiovascular MRS are
addressed.
