Abstract
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is rather a latecomer among techniques for noninvasive assessment of the myocardium. Furthermore, though admittedly furnishing a method for directly examining myocardial metabolic activity, its clinical utility in providing an index of myocardial health is yet to be assessed. Despite this, the development of both hardware and experimental methods necessary to apply NMR spectroscopic analysis to myocardial tissue in vivo is attended by a continually increasing sense of enthusiasm. In the current chapter, we have three goals: first, to impart some basic sense of what biological NMR spectroscopy is about, second, to provide, by reviewing results of recent experimental studies, some sense of the basis for the current enthusiasm for applying NMR to biological studies, and third, to develop some perspective from which we might anticipate both the eventual clinical capabilities and some of the limitations of NMR spectroscopy as a clinical research and ultimately diagnostic tool. Requisite to achieving these aims is some understanding of the physical basis of NMR.
