Abstract
Skeletal muscle metabolism was examined in patients with chronic conge stive heart failure and in normal controls using P-31 nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy during transcutaneous nerve stimulation-induce d muscular contraction, Congestive heart failure patients exhibited lo wer tissue pH and greater phosphocreatine utilization than controls, s uggesting that congestive heart failure is associated with a qualitati ve abnormality of skeletal muscle.
