To demonstrate the feasibility of mapping intracellular pH within the in vivo rodent heart. Alterations in cardiac acid‐base balance can lead to acute contractile depression and alterations in Ca2+ signaling. The transient reduction in adenosine triphosphate (ATP) consumption and cardiac contractility may be initially beneficial; however, sustained pH changes can be maladaptive, leading to myocardial damage and electrical arrhythmias.
