Abstract Complex diseases are caused by a combination of genetic, lifestyle, and environmental factors and comprise common noncommunicable diseases, including allergies, cardiovascular disease, and psychiatric and metabolic disorders. More than 25% of Europeans suffer from a complex disease, and together these diseases account for 70% of all deaths ...

Abstract Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), a genetically and clinically heterogeneous cardiomyopathy, is commonly caused by mutations in the MYBPC3 gene or other various sarcomeric genes. HCM patients carrying sarcomeric gene mutations may experience an asymptomatic period at early stage but still possess an escalating risk of developing adverse ...

Is mavacamten superior to aficamten for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy? A frequentist network meta-analysis [PDF]
Background: Myosin inhibitors have been shown to improve exercise capacity and symptoms, as well as reduce the left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) gradient. This study explores the efficacy of mavacamten versus aficamten in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (

Effect of Hepatic Impairment or Renal Impairment on the Pharmacokinetics of Aficamten. [PDF]
Aficamten, a small-molecule, selective cardiac myosin inhibitor, is under development for the treatment of symptomatic obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (oHCM). Aficamten is primarily eliminated by hepatic metabolism with renal excretion playing a minor role.
