Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a complex, multiorgan syndrome. Cardiac man ifestations include diastolic stiffening and impaired relaxation, normal resting systolic function but de pressed systolic reserve, and modest hypertrophy. 1 Although diastolic dysfunction remains a benchmark of HFpEF, the extent to which myofibrils, the contrac tile organelles of myocytes, contribute to this behavior remains unknown. HFpEF animal models historically emphasized hypertension and ventricular hypertrophy to achieve diastolic dysfunction, and recently have in corporated obesity and diabetes as they are increas ingly prevalent. Popular rodent models include Zucker obese/spontaneously hypertensive rats 2 and mice given a high fat diet (HFD) and the constitutive NO synthase inhibitor, Nω nitro l arginine methyl ester (ʟ NAME)(HFD+ ʟ NAME). 3 However, neither model de veloped diastolic disease as severe as that observed in patients with HFpEF. Heightened diastolic pathology was achieved in larger Göttingen minipigs fed a HFD and treated with desoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA) to induce volume retention/hypertension. 4 Although each model exhibited gross scale diastolic dysfunction, albeit to different extents, there are no data yet reported from myofibrils on their mechanical activation and relax ation properties. Thus, it remains unclear whether the mechanistic basis of global, organ level diastolic impair ments observed among the models involves common underlying myofibrillar deficiencies. This has become salient as newer pharmaceuticals are targeting sarco meric proteins to treat such diseases. Therefore, to test if shared defects in subcellular mechanics exist, and thereby potentially contribute to chamber level patho physiology, we resolved the kinetic parameters of con traction and relaxation of individual myofibrils from each HFpEF animal model and its respective control. The models, generated in independent laboratories, all had elevated ventricular diastolic filling pressure, normal range ejection fraction, myocardial hypertrophy and fibrosis, and obesity with glucose intolerance. 2–4 Procedures followed were in accordance with institu tional guidelines. Heart tissue from each model and control group was sectioned and frozen in liquid nitro gen. Frozen left ventricle tissue strips were incubated in a 4% triton skinning solution overnight at 4 C and then homogenized to produce a concentrated suspension of myofibrils. Cell level measurements cannot time resolve relaxation kinetics, as even in single permea bilized cardiomyocytes, calcium diffusion is too slow to achieve this. However, given their small diameter, myofibrils promptly equilibrate with bathing solutions without significant diffusional constraints. 5 Individual myofibrils were electrostatically tethered between a glass probe connected to a Piezo length controller and a glass cantilever of known stiffness (0.031 N/m). Sarcomere length was set to 2.1 μm from an average
