Abstract excerpt
Thin filament hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) mutations increase myofilament Ca2+ sensitivity and alter Ca2+ handling and buffering. The myosin inhibitor mavacamten reverses the increased contractility caused by HCM thick filament mutations, and we here test its effect on HCM thin filament mutations where the mode of action is not known. Mavacamten (250 nM) partially reversed the increased Ca2+ sensitivity...
