Does mavacamten improve cardiac remodeling on CMR in patients with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy?
Does mavacamten improve cardiac remodeling on CMR in patients with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy?
Long-term mavacamten treatment is associated with sustained favorable cardiac remodeling, including reductions in left ventricular mass and wall thickness in patients with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
Provides longitudinal CMR data on mavacamten in obstructive HCM; hypothesis-generating for remodeling effects pending randomized confirmation.
All participants provided written informed consent?a In EXPLORER-HCM. patients received mavacamten or placebo for 30 weeks. After trial completion and a variable washout period, patients could enroll in MAVA- LTE. with initiation of mavacamten 5 mg/day and echocardiography-guided titration. CMR assessments were conducted as previously detailed? with analyses at baseline and week 30 of EXPLORER-HCM and weeks |24 and 96 of MAVA-LTE (data extraction on March 9, (2023). Exploratory end points included left ventricular (LV) mass index, LV maximum wall thickness, volumes land function (left atrial volume maximum index, LV end- diastolic volume index, LV end-sys tolic volume index, and myocardial contractile fraction), focal and diffuse mocar- dial fibrosis (6-SD late gadolinium enhancement [LGE] and average extracellular volume fraction), and LV ejec- tion fraction (LVEF).
