This work demonstrates the design and application of frequency robust, subject-tailored or universal, non-selective kT-point pulses to achieve a homogeneous flip-angle within the 3D human heart at 7T across a 1400Hz wide frequency range that includes water and six fat frequencies. Frequency robust universal pulses were computed offline based on 31 3D B1+-maps and could be used in time-critical situations for calibration-free 3D heart flip-angle homogenization. Experimental data at 7T validates the flip-angle predictions and demonstrates successful excitation of fat and water in the human heart at 7T.
