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

Advances in Cardiovascular Pharmacotherapy. I. Cardiac Myosin Inhibitors
Journal of Cardiothoracic and Vascular AnesthesiaHypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common inherited cardiomyopathy. The disease is characterized by asymmetric left ventricular (LV) remodeling with myocyte disarray and interstitial fibrosis, a hypercontractile state, dynamic subaortic obstruction of the LV outflow tract, impaired LV diastolic function, atrial and ventricular arrhythmias ...

The Revolution of Cardiac Myosin Inhibitors in Patients With Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
Canadian Journal of CardiologyHypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common genetic cardiomyopathy worldwide and causes significant morbidity and mortality. For decades, medical treatment options have been limited and untargeted, with frequent need for invasive interventions not readily accessible to many HCM patients.

Mechanisms of a Novel Regulatory Light Chain–Dependent Cardiac Myosin Inhibitor
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.

Two cardiac myosin inhibitors in the treatment of obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
MedA key area of therapeutic progress in obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy revolves around the emergence of cardiac myosin inhibitors, of which mavacamten and aficamten represent the first and second molecules. We summarize the key research evidence, including many similarities and potential differences between various clinical trials studying these
