Study Arms (2)
Mavacamten
EXPERIMENTALAdd-on use of mavacamten on top of guideline-directed standard medical therapy
No mavacamten
ACTIVE COMPARATORGuideline-directed standard medical therapy group
Interventions
Administer an appropriate dose of diltiazem according to the patient's tolerance.
Add Mavacamten to guideline-directed standard medical therapy for patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and mid-to-apical left ventricular obstruction.
Administer an appropriate dose of beta-blockers according to the patient's tolerance.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Patients diagnosed with HCM according to the 2023 Chinese Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Adult Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy, meeting one of the following:
- Left ventricular wall thickness ≥15 mm at end-diastole in any segment as assessed by echocardiography or cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR);
- Left ventricular wall thickness ≥13 mm in individuals with a confirmed pathogenic gene mutation or in genetically affected family members;
- Symptomatic non-outflow tract obstructive HCM patients (meeting criterion a and at least one of b or c):
- <!-- -->
- Presence of clinical symptoms such as dyspnea, chest pain, dizziness, palpitations, or syncope, with New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class II-III;
- Maximal pressure gradient (PGmax) \>30 mmHg in the mid-ventricle under resting or Valsalva maneuver as assessed by echocardiography;
- PGmax \>30 mmHg in the apical region under resting or Valsalva maneuver on echocardiography.
- ③Ability to provide written informed consent (ICF) and any required privacy authorization prior to study enrollment.
You may not qualify if:
- Obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), defined as a maximal left ventricular outflow tract pressure gradient (LVOT-PGmax) ≥30 mmHg at rest and during the Valsalva maneuver on echocardiography;
- Maximal right ventricular outflow tract pressure gradient (RVOT-PGmax) ≥16 mmHg at rest; ③ Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) \<50% on echocardiography;
- Uncontrolled primary hypertension;
- Moderate or severe aortic valve stenosis and/or primary mitral valve disease with severe mitral regurgitation; ⑥ Known infiltrative or storage disorders mimicking the HCM phenotype (e.g., Fabry disease, cardiac amyloidosis); ⑦ Presence of severe infections, hepatic dysfunction, renal impairment, or other serious conditions significantly affecting life expectancy.
