Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) is a new technique for the evaluation of myocardial metabolism. Recently, localized MRS has been clinically available to measure by a non-invasive method the relative concentrations of the high-energy phosphate metabolites in the myocardium. We performed ECG gated P-31 MRS using ISIS (image-selected in vivo spectroscopy) in 15 normal volunteers, 12 patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, 12 with left ventricular hypertrophy, 6 with dilated cardiomyopathy and 11 with specific heart muscle disease. Myocardial peak height ratios of PCr/gamma-ATP, Pi/gamma-ATP and PCr/Pi were measured. Myocardial P-31 MRS demonstrated a significant decrease in the ratio PCr/ATP in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and specific heart muscle disease as compared with normal subjects, indicating myocardial metabolic disturbance in these patients. The ratio of PCr/ATP in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy did not differ significantly from that of normal subjects. However, exercise MRS revealed a marked decrease of PCr peak in an asymptomatic patient with dilated cardiomyopathy, which may indicate a latent metabolic disturbance in the myocardium of dilated cardiomyopathy.
