Exercise intolerance is a hallmark of heart failure. Here, we have shown for the first time that parameters derived from ROI-based analysis of creatine-weighted CEST signals following exercise can be used to distinguish HFpEF patients from HTN and healthy controls. Identifying these group differences is uniquely possible because CrCEST can measure muscle specific metabolism with high spatial resolution and sensitivity.
