tim.hodson Wed, 10/02/2024 - 11:54 Heart failure is a rapidly growing public health issue that can be difficult to manage on a global scale. But there are tools that exist that can improve outcomes, such as guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT). New UCLA-led research highlights the important role that these guidelines can play in reducing mortality rates for individuals suffering from heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), a type of heart failure affecting an estimated 29 mill

A new HFpEF treatment might be on the horizon, after results from the EMBARK-HFpEF trial showed that BMS’ hypertrophic cardiomyopathy treatment, mavacamten (Camzyos), safely improved key HFpEF symptoms and biomarkers. Mavacamten is the only cardiac myosin inhibitor with FDA approval to treat obstructive HCM, and works by reducing heart muscle contraction and improving blood flow.
