(v) indicates experimental animal model that recapitulate HFpEF aspects. (?) indicates that the experimental animal model has not been studied for the indicated aspect. FPR2KO, formyl peptide receptor 2 knock out; Ob/Ob, obese mouse; db/db, db gene knock out, responsible for leptin receptor; ZF/ZDF, Zucker fatty/Zucker diabetic fatty; SKO, seipin knock out; ZSF1, Zucker spontaneously fatty hypertensive heart failure F1 hybrid.
