Metabolic imaging with cardiac magnetic resonance spectroscopy
The only non invasive technique for the assessment of cardiac metabolism in patients that does not use radiation is magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS). By interrogating signals from phosphorus-31 and hydrogen-1, spectroscopy offers a wealth of metabolic information on the heart muscle. This review focuses on the two areas of greatest potential for MRS: heart failure and ischemic heart diseas...
متن کاملEvolving techniques for the investigation of muscle bioenergetics and oxygenation.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) are both powerful, non-invasive methodologies and, as such, offer great potential to investigate both human biochemistry and human physiology, and ultimately to contribute significantly to the field of medicine. Consequently there has been much effort devoted to fostering the evolution of these methodologies into distinc...
متن کاملMetabolic imaging Metabolic imaging in dilated cardiomyopathy
Cardiac metabolism is deranged in dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Phosphorus-31 (P) and hydrogen1 (H) magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) allow for the non-invasive assessment of various aspects of cardiac metabolism, showing deranged cardiac energetics and lipid accumulation in DCM. In the future, MRS may become an important biomarker tool for monitoring the effects of novel heart-failure trea...
متن کاملMetabolic profiling during ex vivo machine perfusion of the human liver.
As donor organ shortages persist, functional machine perfusion is under investigation to improve preservation of the donor liver. The transplantation of donation after circulatory death (DCD) livers is limited by poor outcomes, but its application may be expanded by ex vivo repair and assessment of the organ before transplantation. Here we employed subnormothermic (21 °C) machine perfusion of d...
متن کاملEx Situ Normothermic Machine Perfusion of Donor Livers.
In contrast to conventional static cold preservation (0-4 °C), ex situ machine perfusion may provide better preservation of donor livers. Continuous perfusion of organs provides the opportunity to improve organ quality and allows ex situ viability assessment of donor livers prior to transplantation. This video article provides a step by step protocol for ex situ normothermic machine perfusion (...
