Brief Summary: The study objective is to identify the earliest changes in energy substrate metabolism in patients with cardiomyopathies CMP To achieve this objective we plan first to test the hypothesis that patients with CMP present focal alterations in myocardial hyperpolarized 1-13Cpyruvate flux
Detailed Description: To measure the regional myocardial 1-13Clactate to 13Cbicarbonate ratio as an index of mitochondrial oxidation and glycolysis coupling in the heart Advanced cardiac MRI will be used to characterize cardiac morphology function myocardial blood flow and fibrosis

Heart failure is a major source of morbidity and mortality in the United States Multiple studies have demonstrated that development of heart failure is related to alteration in cardiac metabolism Specifically such changes include a shift from fatty acid oxidation to increased glucose utilization as energy source with uncoupling of glycolysis and mitochondrial oxidation at the level of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex In human subject who were referred for LVAD placement excised heart muscle samples exhibited significant increase in expression of pyruvate kinase M2 PKM2 compared to subjects with normal LV function

Additionally mechanical unloading decreased PKM2 expression suggesting a correlation between pyruvate utilization and severity of heart failure Such changes metabolic alterations appear to precede the actual structural changes and might be a possible target for future therapies although the timeline of such changes remains to be elucidated Currently it is unknown whether different types of CMP have different metabolic signatures
