Real time measurement of myocardial substrate selection in vivo using hyperpolarized 13C magnetic resonance
Background Cardiac dysfunction is often associated with a shift in substrate preference and metabolism, but current in vivo techniques only provide information on substrate uptake. Hyperpolarized (HP) MR has the unique ability to detect metabolism in vivo and is highly specific. To evaluate the prospects for measuring myocardial substrate selection in vivo, HP [1-C]pyruvate and [1-C] butyrate w...
متن کاملHyperpolarized 13C urea myocardial first-pass perfusion imaging using velocity-selective excitation
BACKGROUND A velocity-selective binomial excitation scheme for myocardial first-pass perfusion measurements with hyperpolarized 13C substrates, which preserves bolus magnetization inside the blood pool, is presented. The proposed method is evaluated against gadolinium-enhanced 1H measurements in-vivo. METHODS The proposed excitation with an echo-planar imaging readout was implemented on a cli...
متن کاملClinical Implications of Cardiac Hyperpolarized Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Alterations in cardiac metabolism are now considered a cause, rather than a result, of cardiac disease. Although magnetic resonance spectroscopy has allowed investigation of myocardial energetics, the inherently low sensitivity of the technique has limited its clinical application in the study of cardiac metabolism. The development of a novel hyperpolarization technique, based on the process of...
متن کاملAssessment of Metformin induced changes in cardiac redox state using hyperpolarized[1-13C]pyruvate
Background Metformin improves cardiovascular outcomes in diabetes, but its mechanism of action is controversial. Recent evidence suggests that Metformin reduces gluconeogenesis by altering hepatic redox state. Whether Metformin also alters cardiac redox state and metabolism is unknown, in part because of the difficulty in measuring cardiac metabolism in vivo. Hyperpolarized [1-C]pyruvate magnet...
متن کاملMultiband excitation pulses for hyperpolarized 13C dynamic chemical-shift imaging.
Hyperpolarized 13C offers high signal-to-noise ratios for imaging metabolic activity in vivo, but care must be taken when designing pulse sequences because the magnetization cannot be recovered once it has decayed. It has a short lifetime, on the order of minutes, and gets used up by each RF excitation. In this paper, we present a new dynamic chemical-shift imaging method that uses specialized ...
