Hyperpolarized 13C Metabolic MRI of the Human Heart: Initial Experience

Dissolution DNP has come a long way.

<div style="text-align: justify;">RATIONALE: Altered cardiac energetics is known to play an important role in the progression toward heart failure. A noninvasive method for imaging metabolic markers that could be used in longitudinal studies would be useful for understanding therapeutic approaches that target metabolism. OBJECTIVE: To demonstrate the first hyperpolarized (13)C metabolic magnetic resonance imaging of the human heart. METHODS AND RESULTS: Four healthy subjects underwent conventional proton cardiac magnetic resonance imaging followed by (13)C imaging and spectroscopic acquisition immediately after intravenous administration of a 0.1 mmol/kg dose of hyperpolarized [1-(13)C]pyruvate. All subjects tolerated the procedure well with no adverse effects reported
