“…This is particularly true in patients with abnormal metabolic patterns which could significantly alter the treatment response. 10,11 In the normal heart, energy is primarily (>95%) Abbreviations used: ANOVA, analysis of variance; AUC, area under the curve; CINE-LVF, CINE left ventricular function; CSI, chemical shift image; ECG, electrocardiogram; EF, ejection fraction; ELISA, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay; FA, flip angle; FFA, free fatty acid; FOV, field of view; GIK, glucose-insulinpotassium; ICC, interclass correlation coefficient; MR, magnetic resonance; MRI, magnetic resonance imaging; MRS, magnetic resonance spectroscopy; PET, positron emission tomography; RF, radiofrequency; ROI, region of interest produced via oxidative metabolism of free fatty acids (FFAs) and glucose, with each energy source contributing to ATP production at 60-90% and 10-40%, respectively. 12 These ratios vary widely under normal physiological conditions, e.g.…”
