Right heart failure (RHF) is a leading cause of mortality in multiple cardiovascular diseases and preclinical and human data suggest impaired metabolism is a significant contributor to right-sided cardiac dysfunction. Ferroptosis is a nonapopotic form of cell death driven by impaired metabolism. Rodent data suggests ferroptosis inhibition can restore mitochondrial electron transport chain function and enhance cardiac contractility in left heart failure models, but the effects of ferroptosis inhibition in translational large animal models of RHF are unknown. Here, we showed ferrostatin-1 mediated ferroptosis antagonism improve right heart structure and function in pulmonary artery banded pigs. Molecularly, ferrostatin-1 restored mitochondrial cristae structure and combatted downregulation of electron transport chain proteins. Metabolomics and lipidomics analyses revealed ferrostatin-1 improved fatty acid metabolism. Thus, these translational data suggest ferroptosis may be a therapeutic target for RHF.
