Introduction: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a common genetic heart disorder. It is characterized by left ventricular hypertrophy and impaired cardiac function, with forms categorized into obstructive (oHCM) and nonobstructive (nHCM). Traditional treatments address symptoms but not the underlying disease mechanism, highlighting the need for novel therapies.

Introduction: Obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (oHCM) is a genetic disorder characterized by myocardial hypertrophy, which can obstruct left ventricular outflow. Cardiac myosin inhibitors (CMIs) have emerged as a novel therapeutic agent targeting cardiac muscle hypercontractility.

Objective: To compare the efficacy and safety of CMIs mavacamten and aficamten vs.

Myosin-IC (myo1c) is a class-I myosin that supports transport and remodeling of the plasma membrane and membrane-bound vesicles. Like other members of the myosin family, its biochemical kinetics are altered in response to changes in mechanical loads that resist the power stroke. However, myo1c is unique in that the primary force-sensitive kinetic transition is the isomerization that follows ATP binding, not ADP release as in other slow myosins.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a genetic cardiac disorder characterized by structural and functional abnormalities. Current management strategies, such as medications and septal reduction therapies, have significant limitations and risks. Recently, cardiac myosin inhibitors (CMIs) like mavacamten and aficamten have shown promise as noninvasive treatment options.
