Domestic cats are affected by over 250 naturally occurring hereditary disorders, many of which are similar to those in humans, such as diabetes, hemophilia and Tay–Sachs disease. [ 3 ] [ 5 ] For example, Abyssinian cat 's pedigree contains a genetic mutation that causes retinitis pigmentosa , which also affects humans.
Mavacamten, sold under the brand name Camzyos, is a medication used to treat obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. [8] [9]Mavacamten is a small-molecule allosteric [10] and cardiac myosin inhibitor. [8]
A quarter of unselected patients with TTS who presented to an emergency department were found to have obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) on blinded echocardiographic analysis. [34] These patients had septal thickening, systolic anterior motion (SAM) of the mitral valve, left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction with mean peak ...
