Getty Images milla1cf Tue, 05/14/2024 - 13:00 May 14, 2024 — One of the most common genetic heart diseases worldwide, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) causes the walls of the left ventricle to become thick and stiff. All participants were receiving background medical therapy and had reduced exercise capacity.
Nature Reviews Cardiology, Published online: 28 May 2024; doi:10.1038/s41569-024-01044-8 Data from the SEQUOIA-HCM trial show that aficamten, a cardiac myosin inhibitor, increases exercise capacity and improves quality of life in patients with symptomatic obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
BACKGROUND:Patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy without left ventricular outflow tract obstruction commonly experience reduced exercise capacity. Physical training improves exercise capacity in these patients, but whether the underlying effects of exercise are a result of central hemodynamic or peripheral improvement is unclear.
Background This review aimed to compare the relative effectiveness of different exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation (ExCR) delivery modes (centre-based, home-based, hybrid and technology-enabled ExCR) on key heart failure (HF) outcomes: exercise capacity, health-related quality of life (HRQoL), HF-related hospitalisation and HF-related mortality.

Maron, MD “Our findings provide enthusiasm that a novel drug therapy with ninerafaxstat may provide nonobstructive HCM patients an opportunity to achieve a better quality of life by decreasing symptom burden and improving exercise capacity,” said Martin S.
The American College of Cardiology (ACC) and the American Heart Association (AHA) today released a new clinical guideline for effectively managing individuals diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM).

Treatment with aficamten in patients with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (oHCM) was associated with broad clinical efficacy across multiple outcome domains, including rapid and sustained decreases in outflow gradients, meaningful improvements in functional class and quality of life, enhanced exercise capacity, and significant reductions in (..)

Decline in exercise ability is a hallmark of progression to overt heart failure. The international ARISE-HF trial was designed to test the effectiveness of the investigational drug AT-001 at stabilizing exercise capacity in patients with diabetic cardiomyopathy.
Primary endpoints: tirzepatide reduced the combined risk of cardiovascular death or worsening heart failure and improved Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire Clinical Summary Score(KCCQ-CSS). n=393) were female; BMI 38.26.7kg/m2, KCCQ-CSS 53.518.5,
The main secondary study endpoints are all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality, incidence of implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) therapy, hospitalizations, quality of life, time to first ICD therapy, number of device-detected ventricular tachycardia/ventricular fibrillation episodes, left ventricular function, and exercise tolerance.
Patients with increasing obesity have higher right- and left-sided ventricular filling pressures, increased cardiac output (CO), lower 6-min walk distance (6MWD) and worse Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) scores. Pulmonary vascular resistance at rest and exercise decreased with higher BMI. Overall, 60.9% Overall, 60.9%
The heart hasn’t failed – it just doesn’t match up to the body’s requirements especially when the requirements are increased such as during exercise. Heart failure or cardiac insufficiency has marked negative effects both on quality of life and quantity of life. Thank you for reading.
Today’s vlog is on the subject of heart failure and in particular on a special type of pacemaker which can make a significant improvement to the quality of life and length of life in patients with heart failure. length of life? You can download this script as a Hindi translation here. What is heart failure?
Pharmacological treatments: These can be divided into 2 groups Medications that improve quality of life (usually by relieving symptoms) and medications that can prolong life. Medications that improve quality of life in heart failure for example include diuretics. I hope you found this useful.
Regular physical activity combined with structured exercise training has well described benefits for quality of life and mortality in a range of cardiovascular conditions. For individuals with underlying genetic cardiac myopathies there has been concern that exercise training could trigger a potentially fatal event.
