Phase 2 Study of Aficamten in Patients With Obstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy [PDF]
Left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction is a major determinant of heart failure symptoms in obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (oHCM). Aficamten, a next-in-class cardiac myosin inhibitor, may lower gradients and improve symptoms in these patients.This study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of aficamten in patients with oHCM ...

Effect of Aficamten on Health Status Outcomes in Obstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
Background: A primary goal in treating obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (oHCM) is to improve patients’ health status: their symptoms, function, and quality of life. The health status benefits of aficamten, a novel cardiac myosin inhibitor, have not been comprehensively described. Objectives: This study sought to determine the effect of aficamten

Effect of Aficamten on Cardiac Structure and Function in Obstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy [PDF]
Background: Obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (oHCM) is characterized by left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy, LV outflow tract obstruction, and left atrial dilation, which can be associated with progressive heart failure, atrial fibrillation, and stroke. Aficamten is a next-in-class cardiac myosin inhibitor that reduces outflow tract obstruction by

Impact of Aficamten on Echocardiographic Cardiac Structure and Function in Symptomatic Obstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy [PDF]
Background: Aficamten, a next-in-class cardiac myosin inhibitor, improved peak oxygen uptake (pVO2) and lowered resting and Valsalva left ventricular outflow (LVOT) gradients in adults with symptomatic obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (oHCM) in ...

Aficamten—A Second in Class Cardiac Myosin Inhibitor for Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
Cardiology in Review, 2023Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is an under-recognized disease with a genetic component that results in abnormal and often asymmetric thickening of the left ventricle in addition to decreased compliance and progressive fibrosis of the myocardium. It further poses significant complications related to dynamic left ventricular outflow obstruction over time in
