500. It is the most common cause of sudden death in youngindividuals and athletes in the United States. Clinical presentation is variable, with complaints of exertional dyspnea, chest pain, and heart failure symptoms. Other patients are relatively asymptomatic with normal life expectancy. The ...
Depletion of nonantigen-specific antibodies by extracorporeal immunoadsorption is associated with improved ventricular function and reduced cardiac symptoms in some DCM patients, suggesting that autoantibodies may also have a functional role in humans. Immunosuppression seems beneficial in patients who are ...
[6]. If untreated, the symptoms resolve spontaneously and the patient enters in the indeterminate phase characterized by chronicasymptomatic infectionand undetectable parasitemia [7]. After years or even decades, around 30% of infected subjects progress toward the chronic symptomatic phase, which ...
Using two mouse models carrying the R403Q mutation in the α-myosin heavy chain (MyHC)17or the R92W mutation in cardiac troponin T (TnT)18, we have previously demonstrated allele-specific differences in gene expression, redox and mitochondrial function at anearlystage of disease (5 weeks of a...
Unfortunately Lazarević et al[23], as in most of these studies, systematically excluded patients with a history of heart disease or with HF symptoms. It is therefore possible that most of these studies may have also consistently omitted most alcohol abusers in whom alcohol had already caused ...

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is an inherited disease of the sarcomere resulting in excessive cardiac contractility. The first-in-class cardiac myosin inhibitor, mavacamten, improves symptoms in obstructive HCM. Here we present aficamten, a selective small-molecule inhibitor of cardiac myosin that...

a “therapeutically effective amount” to a patient is such an amount which induces, ameliorates, stabilises, slows down the progression or otherwise causes an improvement in the pathological symptoms, disease progression or physiological conditions associated with or resistance to succumbing to a disorde...
