Its ability to  noninvasively examine myocardial metabolism has led to its use to  answer basic questions in animal models of normal and diseased  myocardium. Extension of these investigations into the realm of human  myocardial metabolism has been made possible by the advent of  relatively high-field magnets with spectroscopy capabilities and  sufficient bore dimensions to allow human studies. While ongoing and  future studies promise to enhance our understanding of myocardial  metabolism, their success will, in part, depend on a thorough  understanding of the technical and biologic aspects of cardiovascular  MRS, as well as the current state of research in the many areas  encompassed by this discipline. \u003cbr\u003e  It is with concept that the present monograph has been written. The  organization and content should lend this book to both the beginning  reader who is interested but not conversant in cardiovascular MRS, as  well as to the active investigator who wishes to refer to a volume  that deals with the many issues of this field in a concise but  complete manner. The monograph is structured with a general overview  of the field, followed by a section addressing the technical issues of  cardiovascular MRS. The next section is devoted to biologic issues of  both normal and abnormal myocardial metabolism, primarily devoted to  investigations employing phosphorus-31. This is followed by a section  dealing with more specialized issues, generally involving other nuclei  such as protons, carbon, and sodium. Finally, the clinical  applications of cardiovascular MRS are addressed. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1992-10-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792316862\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-3490-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 254cm x178cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 230\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46312374960268,"sku":"9780792316862","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792316862.jpg?v=1771524903","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792316862","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
