Mechano-energetic uncoupling in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: Pathophysiological mechanisms and therapeutic opportunities

Abstract excerpt

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a frequent inherited form of heart failure. The underlying cause of HCM is generally attributed to mutations in genes that encode for sarcomeric proteins, but the pathogenesis of the disease is also influenced by non-genetic factors, which can contribute to diastolic dysfunction and hypertrophic remodeling. Central to the pathogenesis of HCM is hypercontractility, a state that...
