Changes in Creatine Kinase (CK) system are observed in heart failure and measurement of CK reaction rate constant (kf) can be useful to monitor pathology. 7T MR scanner offers improved signal to noise and spectral resolution and has potential for robust measurements. In this study we demonstrate novel superfast saturation transfer method (T1nom – method) to measure ATP production rate via CK forward reaction in human hearts at 7T. Spatial localization was achieved by GOIA-1D-ISIS/2D-CSI approach. Our measured kf values were consistent with literature.
