A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Efficacy and Safety of Mavacamten for the Treatment of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine
Background: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a common hereditary cardiomyopathy. Mavacamten, a first-in-class cardiac myosin inhibitor, is considered to be a specific drug for the treatment of HCM.

Cytoskeleton–Membrane Uncoupling in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy: Implications for Newborn Screening and Early Protection

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The cytoskeleton of striated muscle integrates force transmission, mechanotransduction, and sarcolemmal stability through coordinated networks of sarcomeres, costameres, and intermediate filaments. Together, these systems establish mechanical continuity between the contractile apparatus, the sarcolemma, and the extracellular matrix.

The Central Role of Echocardiography in Mavacamten Therapy for Obstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy: A Comprehensive Review

Cardiology Research and Practice
Mavacamten is a cardiac myosin inhibitor used in adults with symptomatic obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Echocardiography is central to selecting suitable patients, confirming left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction, excluding ...

Fhod3 in zebrafish supports myofibril stability during growth of embryonic skeletal muscle

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Actin filament organization in cardiomyocytes critically depends on the formin Fhod3, but a role for Fhod3 in skeletal muscle development has not yet been described. Results We demonstrate here that in zebrafish mutated for one of two fhod3 paralog genes, fhod3a, skeletal muscle of the trunk appears normal through 2 days post ...

Gut microbiota‐related modulation of immune mechanisms in post‐infarction remodelling and heart failure

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 942-954, April 2025.
Abstract The immune system has long been recognized as a key driver in the progression of heart failure (HF). However, clinical trials targeting immune effectors have consistently failed to improve patient outcome across different HF aetiologies. The activation of the immune system in HF is complex, involving a broad network of pro‐inflammatory and ...

A therapeutic leap: how myosin inhibitors moved from cardiac interventions to skeletal muscle myopathy solutions

The Journal of Clinical Investigation
The myosin inhibitor mavacamten has transformed the management of obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) by targeting myosin ATPase activity to mitigate cardiac hypercontractility.

Cardiac remodelling in the era of the recommended four pillars heart failure medical therapy

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1029-1044, April 2025.
Abstract Cardiac remodelling is a key determinant of worse cardiovascular outcome in patients with heart failure (HF) and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). It affects both the left ventricle (LV) structure and function as well as the left atrium (LA) and the right ventricle (RV).

Myocardial Perfusion Defects in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Mutation Carriers

Journal of the American Heart Association, EarlyView., 2021
Background Impaired myocardial blood flow (MBF) in the absence of epicardial coronary disease is a feature of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Although most evident in hypertrophied or scarred segments, reduced MBF can occur in apparently normal segments.

An ALPK3 truncation variant causing autosomal dominant hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is partially rescued by mavacamten

Scientific Reports
The ALPK3 gene encodes alpha-protein kinase 3, a cardiac pseudo-kinase of unknown function. Heterozygous truncating variants (ALPK3tv) can cause dominant adult-onset hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM).
