Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Obstruction In Cardiac Amyloidosis
In hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), systolic anterior motion of the mitral valve may result in left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction (LVOTO) which, when present, is associated with increased mortality. LVOTO has been described in cardiac amyloidosis (CA), mimicking hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM), and represents a unique phenotype. Less is known regarding the characteristics of those with CA and LVOTO. We sought to describe the clinical characteristics and outcomes in this unique subset of patients.

Exploring The Alarming Surge Of Life Threatening Events Linked To Mavacamten- Analysis Of FDA Adverse Event Reporting System Database
Mavacamten is a novel cardiac myosin ATPase inhibitor targeted for treatment of hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM). It acts by formation of actin-myosin cross-bridge thus reducing contractility and improving myocardial energetics. Since its approval in April 2022 by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), it has been popular for treatment of patients with symptomatic New York Heart Association (NYHA) class II-III HOCM. During review by FDA, mavacamten exhibited a side effect profile of heart failure (HF) that was deemed significant enough to warrant as a boxed warning. (Source: Journal of Cardiac Failure)

The Outcome Of Acute Heart Failure In Patients With Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy
Patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) have abnormal diastolic function, which impairs ventricular filling and increase filling pressure, despise a normal or small ventricular cavity. This work aimed to study the clinical outcome of acute heart failure in patients with HOCM. (Source: Journal of Cardiac Failure)

Real ‐world candidacy to mavacamten in a contemporary hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy population
ConclusionsRW HOCM patients differ from the EXPLORER-HCM population for their older age, lower LVEF and larger atrial volume, potentially reflecting a more advanced stage of the disease. About half of RW HOCM patients were found eligible to mavacamten.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved. (Source: European Journal of Heart Failure)

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is characterized by alterations of the mitochondrial calcium uniporter complex proteins: insights from patients with aortic valve stenosis versus hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy
Introduction: Hypertrophies of the cardiac septum are caused either by aortic valve stenosis (AVS) or by congenital hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM). As they induce cardiac remodeling, these cardiac pathologies may promote an arrhythmogenic substrate with associated malignant ventricular arrhythmias and may lead to heart failure. While altered calcium (Ca2+) handling seems to be a key player in the pathogenesis, the role of mitochondrial calcium handling was not investigated in these patients to date.Methods: To investigate this issue, cardiac septal samples were collected from patients undergoing myectomy du...
