Abstract
This murine iliac AVF model with concurrent renal insufficiency replicates compensated cardiac hypertrophy without heart failure, matching the predominant clinical phenotype in humans unlike existing preclinical models designed to induce high-output heart failure. Cardiomyocyte mitochondrial function was studied for the first time after AVF creation. Female sex was associated with increased respiratory capacity and preserved cardiac function. NAC supplementation showed a trend toward improved mitochondrial function in females.
