Introduction

Cardiac magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) is the application of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to the heart in medicine and biology. Since the resonance signals found in magnetic resonance spectra can be attributed to specific molecules, the spectra provide noninvasive insight into myocardial concentrations of metabolites. When repeating the acquisition in different physiological situations (stress, disease, and treatment), the concentration changes observed are additional important biomarkers of disease. Cardiac MRS is currently the only tool providing these measures without injection of exogenous agents. It bears potential of becoming an advanced clinical diagnostic tool, although the lack of standardized acquisition and processing procedures used by a large number of clinical centers has hampered its use...
