Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy with Special Focus on Mavacamten and Its Future in Cardiology
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a heterogeneous group of heart muscle disorders that affects millions, with an incidence from 1 in 500 to 1 in 200. Factors such as genetics, age, gender, comorbidities, and environmental factors may contribute to the

Pharmacogenetic testing to broaden patient eligibility for mavacamten
The European Medicines Agency (EMA) approved mavacamten in June 2023 for the treatment of symptomatic obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (oHCM).1,2 Clinical trials have demonstrated its efficacy in improving exercise capacity, reducing the left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) gradient, and alleviating symptoms, and decreases the need for invasive

Mavacamten in Right Ventricular Outflow Tract Obstruction
Right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) obstruction is a rare complication of ventricular hypertrophy in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). This study presents an unusual case of a patient with HCM with severe RVOT obstruction that was relieved successfully through the use of mavacamten.
