Brief Summary: Low magnesium levels are surprisingly common in those with a heart condition known as HFpEF where the heart pumps well but is too rigid to fill properly with blood While routine blood tests can check magnesium levels they dont tell us how much magnesium is actually inside the heart and muscle cells where its vital for energy and overall function Our research aims to get a clearer picture by looking directly at the magnesium inside these cells and understanding its role in the bodys energy production and usage Were also interested in how magnesium levels affect symptoms and the bodys handling of sugar Were using advanced medical imaging techniques like heart magnetic resonance imaging MRI and other heart and muscle function tests at rest and when the heart is working hard to help answer these questions Well compare the magnesium levels inside the cells before and after giving a supplement of magnesium to see if this can make a difference in how the heart and muscles work
Detailed Description: Hypomagnesaemia is prevalent among patients suffering from heart failure with preserved ejection fraction HFpEF and in those with predisposing risk factors such as obesity and diabetes The intricate link between hypomagnesaemia and the pathophysiological processes of HFpEF remains to be fully elucidated However its notable prevalence suggests a significant role in the onset and advancement of the disease Serum magnesium S-Mg is commonly used to evaluate Mg status however it does not accurately reflect true intracellular Mg concentrations Mg2i where this essential ion exerts its beneficial effects Thus previous literature lacks a thorough evaluation of Mg2i in HFpEF and specifically the potential impact of Mg replete physiology

The research hypothesis is that Mg2i is related to myocardial and skeletal muscle SM energetics and performance in patients with HFpEF The study aims to explore the role of Mg2i at a functional and cellular level in cardiac and SM symptomatology and insulin sensitivity comparing a HFpEF population with healthy and matched controls

Using the chemical shift difference in the resonance frequencies of the α- and β- phosphate resonances in magnetic resonance spectroscopy MRS Mg2i will be measured comparing it to S-Mg Blood samples for cardiac biomarkers electrolytes and markers of HFpEF risk factors such as lipid profile HbA1C and TSH will be taken and a calf leg raise performed Advanced imaging techniques at rest and stress including cardiac magnetic resonance imaging CMR MRS and echocardiography will be performed MRS measurements include cellular energetics Phosphocreatine PCrATP rate of myocardial ATP delivery CK flux and KfCK and skeletal muscle energetics PCr recovery Tau At two time points post-Mg augmentation immediate and delayed 7-15 days investigations will be repeated

This study aspires to quantify Mg2i in the HFpEF population compared with healthy and matched controls juxtapose its levels with S-Mg and examine its significance in the pathophysiology functional and cellular performance and symptom presentation of HFpEF The study aims to recruit 45 individuals with HFpEF 20 healthy controls and 20 age-and sex-matched individuals over a 2-year period
