Why the study?
Existing renin-angiotensin system inhibitors provide modest to negligible benefits in HFpEF, motivating evaluation of the therapeutic role and molecular mechanisms of Ang 1-7.

ACE2 modulation may extend RAS targeting in HFpEF models; leaves open clinical translation and efficacy in humans.
Does Angiotensin 1-7 improve diastolic dysfunction and cardiac hypertrophy in a murine model of HFpEF?
In a murine model of HFpEF, Angiotensin 1-7 attenuated diastolic dysfunction and cardiac hypertrophy, suggesting a potential therapeutic role.
Edalat et al. (2021) studied this question.
