The incidence of HFpEF continues to increase and ∼2/3 of the patient population are post-menopausal women. Unfortunately, most studies focus on the use of male animal models of remodeling. In this study, however, using female rats to set a model of pre-HFpEF, we provide insights to possible mechanisms that contribute to HFpEF development in humans that will lead us to a better understanding of the underlying pathophysiology of HFpEF.
HFpEF 的发病率持续上升,约 2/3 的患者人群为绝经后妇女。不幸的是,大多数研究都集中在使用雄性动物重塑模型上。然而,在这项研究中,我们使用雌性大鼠建立了 pre-HFpEF 模型,为可能导致 HFpEF 发生的人类机制提供了新的认识,这将有助于我们更好地理解 HFpEF 的潜在病理生理学。
