Dynamic 31P-MRI and 31P-MRS of lower leg muscles in heart failure patients
Abstract Impaired oxidative metabolism is one of multi-variate factors leading to exercise intolerance in heart failure patients. The purpose of the study was to demonstrate the use of dynamic 31P magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) and 31P magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques to measure PC...
