This animal model successfully developed mild HFpEF with a reduced pump function that was dependent on a high preload. A model of mild HFpEF may serve as a valuable tool for studying disease progression and interventions aimed at delaying or reversing symptom advancement, considering the slow development of HFpEF in patients.
