Background Percutaneous intramyocardial (PIM) septal pulsed field ablation (SPFA) represents an innovative technique for the management of hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy. However, the paucity of pertinent animal models has impeded comprehensive investigation. This study aimed to assess the safety, efficacy, and feasibility of PIM‐SPFA, as well

ABSTRACT Sarcomeres are the fundamental contractile units of striated muscle. The functional roles of the cardiac‐specific myosin heavy chains, MYH6 (α myosin II) and MYH7 (β myosin II) during sarcomere assembly remain controversial. To address this, we utilized a selective MYH7 inhibitor, mavacamten, in combination with siRNA‐mediated knockdown of ...

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
