Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Diagnosed with oHCM per the protocol specified criteria
- NYHA Class II or III at screening visits
- KCCQ-CSS that meets the protocol specified criteria at screening visits
- Adequate acoustic windows for echocardiography
You may not qualify if:
- Medical indication for either β-blocker or calcium-channel blocker therapy, other than oHCM, prohibiting drug discontinuation
- History of intolerance or medical contraindication to β-blocker therapy
- Resting systolic blood pressure (SBP) of \>160 millimeters of mercury (mmHg) at screening visits
- Resting heart rate of \>100 beats per minute (bpm) at screening visits
- Significant valvular heart disease, defined as:
- Moderate to severe valvular aortic stenosis or fixed subaortic obstruction;
- Mitral regurgitation not due to systolic anterior motion of the mitral valve (per Investigator's judgment)
- Other protocol-defined criteria apply.
