Statement of Need

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is prevalent around the world, with a conservatively estimated 20 million individuals affected. Even in developed countries, current management of HCM is suboptimal. Much has been learned over the past 2 decades about the pathophysiology of HCM and new therapies such as mavacamten, CK-274, IMB-101, and CT-G20 are currently being developed and tested in clinical trials addressing the underlying pathophysiology of HCM. Although these new agents are in late stages of development, clinicians are often not fully up to date on this progress and the potential opportunity to improve care for patients.

Please join Drs. Maron and Rakowski in this final installment of a CMEO Snack series on HCM as they discuss methods to assess study results of emerging HCM disease-specific treatments targeting cardiac myosin in order to optimize outcomes for patients.

Learning Objectives

At the end of this CE activity, participants should be able to:

• Assess study results of emerging HCM disease-specific treatments regarding cardiac myosin.

Financial Support

Supported by an educational grant from Bristol Myers Squibb.

Target Audience

Cardiologists, interventional cardiologists, electrophysiologists, cardiac surgeons (Secondary: Primary care physicians/General practitioners, PAs, nurse practitioners, nurses, and pharmacists)
