Description:

In this episode, Dr. Valentin Fuster highlights the Forest HCM study, which focuses on the withdrawal of standard care medications in patients with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy receiving afficantin. The study shows promising results: nearly half of the patients who attempted to reduce or stop their medications did so successfully, with significant improvements in functional class and symptoms. While the findings suggest that afficantin may allow for the reduction of traditional therapies, caution is advised, as not all patients may benefit equally.
