October 31, 2025
Three late-breaking MAPLE-HCM science presentations will be showcased at the HCM Medical Society session on November 7, 2025, including a head-to-head comparison of aficamten versus metoprolol and patient-reported health outcomes.
Moderated poster sessions at the AHA Meetings will cover diastolic function, exercise performance, SEQUOIA-HCM sub-studies on comorbidities and sex-based analyses, and FOREST-HCM insights.
Cytokinetics has announced upcoming November 2025 conference presentations at the Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Medical Society Scientific Sessions and the American Heart Association Scientific Sessions, both in New Orleans.
The release includes standard forward-looking statements caveat and media contact information.
