Why the study?
Current therapies are ineffective against HFpEF and its underlying mechanisms remain unelucidated due to limited animal models.
Descending aortic constriction in Tibetan minipigs successfully induces a chronic pressure overload HFpEF model characterized by preserved LVEF, cardiac remodeling, and fibrosis, providing a tool for preclinical translation.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May facilitate preclinical HFpEF testing in large animals; leaves open human translation pending validation.
