The primary aim of this investigation was to determine the reliability and sensitivity of H-1 magnetic resonance spectroscopy (H-1-MRS) as a method for quantifying myocardial triglyceride (TG) content in humans over time and in response to metabolic perturbations. Three separate experiments were designed to quantify myocardial TG content 1) over a 90-day period, 2) after a high-fat meal, and 3) after a 48-h fast. Proton spectra were collected from a 10 x 20 x 30-mm(3) voxel placed within the intraventricular septum, with measurements acquired at end-systole and end-expiration, using cardiac triggering and respiratory gating. Minimal variation was observed between myocardial TG content determined 90 days apart ( r = 0.98, CV = 5%), whereas TG values were unaffected by a high-fat meal despite a significant twofold increase ( P < 0.05) in serum TG. In contrast, myocardial TG content increased threefold ( P < 0.05) after a 48-h fast despite a 25% reduction in serum TG. Body mass index was significantly related to myocardial TG ( r = 0.58, P < 0.05) and the change in myocardial TG after a 48-h fast ( r(2) = 0.60). H-1-MRS is a reliable method for the determination of myocardial TG in humans and is relatively unaffected by the consumption of one high-fat meal but sensitive to changes following a prolonged fast.
