Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), characterized by diastolic dysfunction and insufficient exercise capacity, is a growing health problem worldwide. One major difficulty with experimental research on HFpEF is the lack of methods to consistently detect diastolic dysfunction in mouse models. We developed a pacing-controlled pressure-volume (PV) loop protocol for the assessment of diastolic function at different heart rates in mice and tested if the protocol could detect diastolic dysfunction specific to a HFpEF model. A HFpEF model was generated by high-fat diet (HFD) feeding with concomitantNG-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester administration, and a pressure-overload hypertrophy (PO) model was produced by surgical constriction of the transverse aorta (TAC). Heart rate (HR) was slowed below 400 beats/min by intraperitoneal injection of ivabradine. PV loop data were acquired and analyzed at HR incrementing from 400 to 700 beats/min via atrial pacing using a miniature pacing catheter inserted into the esophagus, and comparisons were made among control, HFpEF, and PO mice. At baseline without pacing, no diastolic abnormalities were detected in either PO or HFpEF models. Frequency-diastolic relations, however, revealed the significant diastolic impairment specific to the HFpEF model; both relaxation time constant (Tau) and end-diastolic pressure-volume relationship (EDPVR) were worsened as heart rate increased. Peak positive first derivative of left ventricular pressure (dP/dtmax) was significantly lower in HFpEF versus controls only at a high HR of 700 beats/min. A pacing-controlled protocol would be a feasible and potent method to detect diastolic dysfunction specific to a mouse HFpEF model.NEW & NOTEWORTHYWe developed a pacing-controlled PV loop protocol for the assessment of diastolic function at different heart rates in mice, which is a feasible and potent method for the characterization of diastolic dysfunction in a murine HFpEF model whose diastolic dysfunction might be difficult to be detected under resting conditions without pacing.
