Medical Treatment Strategies for Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
Erika Hutt, Milind Y. Desai
Abstract
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a heterogeneous genetic heart disease inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern with an estimated prevalence of 0.6% in the general population. Clinical manifestations of HCM vary considerably, with symptoms ranging from none or mild exercise intolerance to severe lifestyle-limiting symptoms, advanced heart failure, and sudden cardiac death. Current management options for HCM include lifestyle modifications, familial screening with genetic counseling, pharmacotherapy for symptom control, sudden cardiac death risk stratification with or without defibrillator implantation, septal reduction therapy, and, in some cases, heart transplantation. Only recently have strongly targeted medical therapies for HCM, such as myosin inhibitors, been studied in multicenter randomized controlled trials. In this report, we review the currently available medical treatments for HCM and the future directions of HCM pharmacotherapy, and we highlight important unmet needs in this population.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a genetic heart disease inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern and is the leading cause of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in young athletes. Early epidemiologic studies reported a prevalence of 0.2%1Maron BJ Gardin JM Flack JM Gidding SS Kurosaki TT Bild DE.

Clinical manifestations of HCM vary considerably, with symptoms ranging from none or mild exercise intolerance to severe lifestyle-limiting symptoms such as chest pain secondary to microvascular ischemia, syncope, or dyspnea on exertion secondary to LV outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction, atrial and/or ventricular arrhythmias, diastolic dysfunction, advanced heart failure, and SCD.4Hutt E Nissen SE Desai MY.

This is often associated with anatomic abnormalities of the mitral valve such as long leaflets and abnormalities of the subvalvular apparatus such as presence of multiheaded, hypertrophied, and anteriorly displaced papillary muscles, all of which cause a narrow LVOT.5Patel P Dhillon A Popovic ZB Smedira NG Rizzo J Thamilarasan M Agler D Lytle BW Lever HM Desai MY.

Symptoms such as dyspnea and chest discomfort are common and are a result of increased LV filling pressures due to diastolic dysfunction, increased myocardial oxygen demand, and microvascular dysfunction.6Ommen SR Mital S Burke MA Day SM Deswal A Elliott P Evanovich LL Hung J Joglar JA Kantor P Kimmelstiel C Kittleson M Link MS Maron MS Martinez MW Miyake CY Schaff HV Semsarian C Sorajja P. 2020 AHA/ACC guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: a report of the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association joint committee on clinical practice guidelines.J Am Coll Cardiol. 2020; 76: e159-e240Crossref PubMed Scopus (320) Google Scholar Recent studies have recognized that patients with nHCM may have a larger scar burden and higher rates of microvascular ischemia than do those with oHCM, and that long-term mortality risk is not low as previously believed.7Lu DY Pozios I Haileselassie B Ventoulis I Liu H Sorensen LL Canepa M Phillip S Abraham MR Abraham TP.
