We investigated whether the myosin inhibitor mavacamten reverses this state, comparing its effects to the anatomic relief achieved by alcohol septal ablation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>METHODS:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Thirty-six patients with symptomatic oHCM were treated with mavacamten. Of these, 29 who achieved a resting LV outflow tract gradient &lt;50 mm\u2009Hg at 3 months (responders) underwent echocardiography-derived pressure-volume analysis before and after therapy. For comparison, a separate cohort of 13 patients with oHCM underwent identical pressure-volume analysis before and 3 months post-alcohol septal ablation. Anrep-related indices were quantified: afterload (LV end-systolic pressure [LVESP] and effective arterial elastance [Ea]), contractility (end-systolic elastance [Ees] and end-systolic volume at 150 mm\u2009Hg [ESV\n                      <jats:sub>150<\/jats:sub>\n                      ]), and systolic ejection time. Myocardial workload (stroke work, potential energy, and pressure-volume area) and diastolic function (LV end-diastolic pressure [LVEDP], end-diastolic volume [EDV], and volume at an LVEDP of 15 mm\u2009Hg [V\n                      <jats:sub>15<\/jats:sub>\n                      ]) were also assessed.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>RESULTS:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      At baseline, all patients showed chronic activation of the Anrep response: elevated afterload (high LVESP and Ea), hypercontractility (high Ees and low ESV\n                      <jats:sub>150<\/jats:sub>\n                      ), and prolonged systolic ejection time, accompanied by increased mechanical workload (elevated stroke work, potential energy, and pressure-volume area). After 3 months, both mavacamten responders and alcohol septal ablation responders showed comparable ventricular unloading: reductions in afterload and contractility, shortened systolic ejection time, and decreased myocardial workload, all while preserving stroke volume. Diastolic indices improved (increased EDV and V\n                      <jats:sub>15<\/jats:sub>\n                      , and decreased LVEDP). Conversely, in mavacamten nonresponders (persistent LV outflow tract gradient \u226550 mm\u2009Hg at 3 months), Anrep-related indices and myocardial workload did not change.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>CONCLUSIONS:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In oHCM, chronic Anrep activation maintains cardiac output against elevated afterload at high energetic cost.
