Abstract 4134456: Hybrid Cardiac Targeting Peptide Ameliorates HFpEF Phenotype in Mice

Circulation

Circulation, Volume 150, Issue Suppl_1 , Page A4134456-A4134456, November 12, 2024. After 5 weeks of the diet, HFD mice and their littermate controls underwent baseline exercise testing and echocardiograms. Echocardiograms were performed under 1.5% Despite this, no therapies with mortality benefit exist for this syndrome.
