Considerations for drug trials in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a heterogeneous condition with potentially serious manifestations. Management has traditionally comprised therapies to palliate symptoms and implantable cardioverter‐defibrillators to prevent sudden cardiac death. The

Mavacamten Cardiac Myosin Inhibitor: Clinical Applications and Future Perspectives. [PDF]
Mavacamten is a first-in-class, selective allosteric inhibitor of cardiac myosin adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) that has emerged as a novel therapeutic option for patients with symptomatic hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) who remain refractory to conventional therapy, such as beta-blockers and calcium channel blockers.

Precision Negative Inotropy: The Rise of Cardiac Myosin Inhibitors in HCM
Background: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common heritable cardiomyopathy, marked by left-ventricular hypertrophy, dynamic outflow obstruction in many patients, diastolic dysfunction, and elevated risks of atrial fibrillation and heart ...

Mechanisms of a novel regulatory light chain-dependent cardiac myosin inhibitor. [PDF]
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a genetic disease of the heart characterized by thickening of the left ventricle (LV), hypercontractility, and impaired relaxation. HCM is caused primarily by heritable mutations in sarcomeric proteins, such as β myosin heavy chain.

Cardiac Myosin Inhibitors in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy: From Sarcomere to Clinic. [PDF]
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a primary myocardial disease characterized by unexplained left ventricular hypertrophy, often resulting from pathogenic variants of sarcomeric protein genes. Conventional treatments, such as the use of beta blockers or calcium channel blockers, focus on symptomatic control but do not address the underlying ...

Aficamten is a small-molecule cardiac myosin inhibitor designed to treat hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. [PDF]
AbstractHypertrophic 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 small-molecule inhibitor of cardiac myosin that diminishes ATPase activity by strongly ...

Novel Cardiac Myosin Inhibitor Therapy for Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy in Adults: A Contemporary Review. [PDF]
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) affects as many as 1 in 200 people in the adult population globally. Patients may present with exertional dyspnea, presyncope or syncope, atrial and ventricular arrhythmias, heart failure, and even sudden cardiac death.

Genetically Encoded Biosensors Reveal PKA Hyperphosphorylation on the Myofilaments in Rabbit Heart Failure [PDF]
RATIONALE: In heart failure, myofilament proteins display abnormal phosphorylation, which contributes to contractile dysfunction. The mechanisms underlying the dysregulation of protein phosphorylation on myofilaments is not clear.
