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 is a small-molecule cardiac myosin inhibitor designed to treat hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. [PDF]
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is an inherited disease of the sarcomere resulting in excessive cardiac contractility. The first-in-class cardiac myosin inhibitor, mavacamten, improves symptoms in obstructive HCM. Here we present aficamten, a selective

Effect of Aficamten on Health Status Outcomes in Obstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy: Results From SEQUOIA-HCM. [PDF]
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

Concomitant Aficamten and Disopyramide in Symptomatic Obstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy. [PDF]
BACKGROUND Disopyramide, used in obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (oHCM) for its negative inotropic properties mediated by its reduction in cytosolic calcium, has been recommended for decades as an option to relieve resistant obstruction ...

Impact of Aficamten on Disease and Symptom Burden in Obstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy: Results From SEQUOIA-HCM. [PDF]
BACKGROUND Aficamten is a cardiac myosin inhibitor that mitigates left ventricular outflow gradients in obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (oHCM). The clinical efficacy of aficamten across multiple outcome domains in oHCM has not been fully defined.
