Should not change HF practice; leaves open whether benefits extend beyond this pacing-induced pig model.
Does fenofibrate slow down the progression of left ventricular dysfunction in pigs with pacing-induced heart failure?
A clinically relevant dose of fenofibrate slows down, rather than accelerates, the development of heart failure in a large mammal model of pacing-induced cardiomyopathy.
Brigadeau et al. (2007) studied this question.
