So proud of our #HCM team and our patients. We just evaluated our 50th patient for aficamten, a cardiac myosin inhibitor. & we had a cake with asymmetrical septal hypertrophy, a myectomy and a sarcomere unit - made by the brilliant MLL ( instagram.com/hapagirlcakes/ ) #CardioTwitter

A few weeks ago, we hosted our first annual Cytokinetics Research Day. It was a jam-packed day with excellent presentations from our colleagues in research showcasing their work. We loved taking a dive into the innovative research taking place that powers our continued progress.

Omecamtiv mecarbil joins bblck, SGLT2i, ARNI, ACE/ARB, MRA as HFrEF pharmacotherapies that improve clin outcomes but not exercise capacity in RCTs. It was an honor to work w/@DukeHFDoc & the entire METEORIC-HF team to rigorously conduct this trial. @MGHHeartHealth @MGHMedicine
20 Jul 2022
#OriginalInvestigation: Multicenter randomized clinical trial found that, in patients with chronic #HFrEF, omecamtiv mecarbil did not significantly improve exercise capacity over 20 weeks compared with placebo. @GLewisCardiol ja.ma/3zebwjc

Significant improvement in NYHA class by 12 and 24 weeks, where ~80% of patients had improvement by 1 NYHA class or more. No worsening in NYHA class, and 21% remained in the same NYHA class (typically class II).
