			<title>Introduction</title>
			<p>Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a myocardial disease, usually of genetic origin, characterized by increased left ventricular wall thickness unexplained by abnormal loading conditions.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">1</xref></sup> Dynamic left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction occurs in approximately 70% of patients, either at rest or with provocation, and is closely associated with symptoms and adverse clinical outcomes.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B2">2</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B3">3</xref></sup></p>
			<p>The relief of the obstructive gradient remains a major therapeutic goal in obstructive HCM. Mavacamten, a cardiac myosin inhibitor, has been shown to reduce LVOT gradients and improve symptoms and functional capacity in symptomatic obstructive HCM.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B4">4</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B5">5</xref></sup> After its regulatory authorization in Colombia in August 2025, mavacamten became a new therapeutic option in this setting.</p>
			<p>We present, to our knowledge, the first published Colombian case of obstructive HCM treated with mavacamten, with serial clinical and echocardiographic follow-up during the first 10 weeks of therapy.</p>

			<title>Case Presentation</title>
			<p>A 74-year-old man was referred for exertional dyspnea, chest pain, and presyncope for more than three months. On examination, blood pressure was 110/60 mmHg, heart rate was 84 beats/min, respiratory rate was 15 breaths/min, and oxygen saturation on room air was 96%. Cardiac auscultation revealed a mid-systolic ejection murmur that increased with Valsalva and transition from squatting to standing.</p>
			<p>Transthoracic echocardiography showed asymmetric hypertrophy, predominantly involving the interventricular septum, with a diastolic septal thickness of 15 mm (<xref ref-type="table" rid="t1">Table 1</xref>). Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was 65%, whereas global longitudinal strain (GLS) was at the lower limit of normal, with segmental impairment involving the septal and lateral walls (<xref ref-type="other" rid="m1">Video 1</xref>). Elongated mitral valve leaflets with systolic anterior motion (SAM) were observed, with an end-systolic mitral coaptation-to-septum distance of 9 mm, suggesting a high likelihood of dynamic obstruction (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f1">Figure 1</xref>). Color Doppler showed LVOT flow acceleration, with a resting peak gradient of 18.3 mmHg that increased to 78.7 mmHg with Valsalva (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f2">Figure 2</xref> and <xref ref-type="other" rid="m2">Video 2</xref>). Genetic testing identified a MYBPC3 variant.</p>

			<p>Initial treatment with metoprolol succinate (100 mg daily) achieved heart rates of 55 to 60 beats/min but was poorly tolerated because of persistent symptoms, cold extremities, diaphoresis, and systolic blood pressure of 90 to 100 mmHg, limiting further optimization of conventional therapy. Because of persistent symptoms and dynamic LVOT obstruction, septal myectomy was considered. However, after a second opinion abroad, the patient started mavacamten 5 mg once daily, obtained in North America before local availability in Colombia. During follow-up, metoprolol was replaced with bisoprolol (5 mg daily) due to better tolerability.</p>
			<p>After six weeks, echocardiography showed a modest reduction in septal thickness and indexed left ventricular mass, while LVEF and GLS remained stable (<xref ref-type="table" rid="t1">Table 1</xref> and <xref ref-type="other" rid="m3">Video 3</xref>). SAM persisted, with continued LVOT flow acceleration. The resting peak gradient was 29.6 mmHg and increased to 39.6 mmHg with Valsalva (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f3">Figure 3</xref>). At that time, the patient was receiving bisoprolol (5 mg daily). Clinically, chest pain had resolved, dyspnea had improved, and no hypotensive episodes were reported.</p>

			<p>At ten-week follow-up, while receiving mavacamten (5 mg daily) and bisoprolol (5 mg daily), the patient was asymptomatic, in New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class I, and exercising regularly four times per week. A new echocardiography showed further reduction in septal thickness and indexed left ventricular mass (<xref ref-type="table" rid="t1">Table 1</xref>). The mitral coaptation-to-septum distance increased to 13 mm, consistent with a lower likelihood of dynamic obstruction, while LVOT flow acceleration markedly decreased. The resting peak gradient was 18.2 mmHg and did not increase with provocative maneuvers (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f4">Figure 4</xref> and <xref ref-type="other" rid="m4">Video 4</xref>); LVEF and GLS remained stable (<xref ref-type="other" rid="m5">Video 5</xref>).

			<p>This case is relevant not only because it represents, to our knowledge, the first published Colombian case of mavacamten use in obstructive HCM, but also because it illustrates appropriate real-world patient selection, limitations of conventional therapy, and the value of serial echocardiography for treatment decisions (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f5">Figure 5</xref> and <xref ref-type="table" rid="t1">Table 1</xref>).</p>

			<p>A major clinical concern in HCM is its association with heart failure symptoms and sudden cardiac death. Among prognostic markers, maximal left ventricular wall thickness and dynamic LVOT obstruction are particularly relevant. In a meta-analysis including 12,146 patients, both variables were associated with cardiovascular death (Hazard Ratio [HR]: 1.42, 95%CI 1.06 to 1.89, and HR: 1.52, 95%CI 1.11 to 2.07, respectively) and sudden cardiac death (HR: 3.17, 95%CI 1.64 to 6.13, and HR: 2.41, 95%CI 1.55 to 3.73, respectively), underscoring the importance of recognizing and treating the obstructive phenotype.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B6">6</xref></sup></p>
			<p>Mavacamten, the first myosin inhibitor approved for HCM, reduces excessive contractility, lessens dynamic LVOT obstruction, and has shown consistent benefits in symptomatic obstructive HCM, including improved symptoms, functional capacity, and quality of life under close echocardiographic monitoring.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B5">5</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B7">7</xref></sup> A central teaching point of this case is the role of serial echocardiography during therapy. The follow-up showed early clinical and hemodynamic improvements, with progressive reduction in the provoked LVOT gradient, preserved LVEF, stable GLS, less prominent SAM, increased mitral coaptation-to-septum distance, and reduced LVOT flow acceleration. This behavior is consistent with results of the EXPLORER-HCM trial, in which mavacamten reduced post-exercise LVOT gradient by 36 mmHg <italic>versus</italic> placebo and improved symptoms, exercise capacity, and NYHA functional class.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B8">8</xref></sup></p>
			<p>Another interesting finding was the downward trend in septal thickness and indexed left ventricular mass. Similar structural changes have been reported in an EXPLORER-HCM substudy assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B9">9</xref></sup> In our patient, a comparable pattern was observed during follow-up. Although this is a single-case observation and should be interpreted cautiously, it remains illustrative.</p>
			<p>From a practical standpoint, this case supports the concept that echocardiography-guided follow-up facilitates real-world initiation and monitoring of mavacamten in selected patients with symptomatic obstructive HCM. In this setting, symptoms, LVEF, provoked LVOT gradient, SAM, and mitral coaptation-to-septum distance may provide a useful framework for longitudinal assessment.</p>

			<title>Conclusion</title>
			<p>This case illustrates that mavacamten may provide early clinical and hemodynamic benefits in selected patients with symptomatic obstructive HCM. In our patient, improvement in symptoms and LVOT obstruction occurred with preserved LVEF and stable GLS, supporting the value of an echocardiography-guided approach in real-world care.</p>

				<title>Introdução</title>
				<p>A cardiomiopatia hipertrófica (CMH) é uma doença do miocárdio, geralmente de origem genética, caracterizada pelo aumento da espessura da parede do ventrículo esquerdo não explicado por condições anormais de sobrecarga.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">1</xref></sup> A obstrução dinâmica da via de saída do ventrículo esquerdo (VSVE) ocorre em aproximadamente 70% dos pacientes, em repouso ou após manobras provocativas, e está intimamente associada aos sintomas e a desfechos clínicos adversos.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B2">2</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B3">3</xref></sup></p>
				<p>A redução do gradiente obstrutivo permanece um dos principais objetivos terapêuticos na CMH obstrutiva. O mavacamten, um inibidor da miosina cardíaca, demonstrou reduzir os gradientes da VSVE e melhorar os sintomas e a capacidade funcional em pacientes com CMH obstrutiva sintomática.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B4">4</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B5">5</xref></sup> Após sua autorização regulatória na Colômbia, em agosto de 2025, o medicamento passou a representar uma nova opção terapêutica nesse contexto.</p>
				<p>Nós apresentamos, até onde se tem conhecimento, o primeiro caso colombiano publicado de CMH obstrutiva tratado com mavacamten, com acompanhamento clínico e ecocardiográfico seriado durante as primeiras 10 semanas de tratamento.</p>

				<title>Apresentação do caso</title>
				<p>Um homem de 74 anos foi encaminhado por dispneia aos esforços, dor torácica e pré-síncope com duração superior a três meses. Ao exame físico, apresentava pressão arterial de 110/60 mmHg, frequência cardíaca de 84 batimentos/min, frequência respiratória de 15 incursões/min e saturação de oxigênio de 96% em ar ambiente. A ausculta cardíaca revelou sopro de ejeção mesossistólico, com intensificação durante a manobra de Valsalva e na transição da posição de agachamento para a posição ortostática.</p>
				<p>O ecocardiograma transtorácico revelou hipertrofia assimétrica predominante do septo interventricular, com espessura diastólica septal de 15 mm (<xref ref-type="table" rid="t2">Tabela 1</xref>). A fração de ejeção do ventrículo esquerdo (FEVE) era de 65%, enquanto o <italic>strain</italic> longitudinal global (SLG) encontrava-se no limite inferior da normalidade, com comprometimento segmentar das paredes septal e lateral (<xref ref-type="other" rid="m6">Vídeo 1</xref>). Foram observados folhetos da valva mitral alongados, com movimento sistólico anterior (MSA), e distância entre o ponto de coaptação mitral e o septo ao final da sístole de 9 mm, sugerindo alta probabilidade de obstrução dinâmica (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f11">Figura 1</xref>). O Doppler colorido apontou aceleração do fluxo na VSVE, com gradiente de pico em repouso de 18,3 mmHg, aumentando para 78,7 mmHg durante a manobra de Valsalva (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f12">Figura 2</xref> e <xref ref-type="other" rid="m7">Vídeo 2</xref>). O teste genético identificou uma variante no gene MYBPC3.</p>

				<p>O tratamento inicial com 100 mg diários de succinato de metoprolol reduziu a frequência cardíaca para 55 a 60 batimentos/min, porém foi pouco tolerado devido à persistência dos sintomas, extremidades frias, diaforese e pressão arterial sistólica entre 90 e 100 mmHg, limitando a otimização adicional da terapia convencional. Em razão da persistência dos sintomas e da obstrução dinâmica da VSVE, foi considerada a realização de miectomia septal. Entretanto, após uma segunda opinião obtida no exterior, o paciente iniciou mavacamten 5 mg uma vez ao dia, adquirido na América do Norte antes de sua disponibilidade na Colômbia. Durante o seguimento, o metoprolol foi substituído por bisoprolol 5 mg uma vez ao dia em virtude de melhor tolerabilidade.</p>
				<p>Após seis semanas, o ecocardiograma demonstrou discreta redução da espessura septal e da massa indexada do ventrículo esquerdo, enquanto a FEVE e o SLG permaneceram estáveis (<xref ref-type="table" rid="t2">Tabela 1</xref> e <xref ref-type="other" rid="m8">Vídeo 3</xref>). O MSA persistia, com manutenção da aceleração do fluxo na VSVE. O gradiente em repouso era de 29,6 mmHg e aumentava para 39,6 mmHg com a manobra de Valsalva (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f13">Figura 3</xref>). À ocasião, o paciente recebia bisoprolol 5 mg uma vez ao dia. Clinicamente, a dor torácica havia desaparecido, a dispneia havia melhorado e não foram relatados episódios de hipotensão.</p>

				<p>Após 10 semanas de tratamento com o uso de mavacamten 5 mg e bisoprolol 5 mg uma vez ao dia, o paciente encontrava-se assintomático, em classe funcional I da <italic>New York Heart Association</italic> (NYHA) e realizava exercícios físicos regularmente quatro vezes por semana. O ecocardiograma de controle apresentou redução adicional da espessura septal e da massa indexada do ventrículo esquerdo (<xref ref-type="table" rid="t2">Tabela 1</xref>). A distância entre o ponto de coaptação mitral e o septo aumentou para 13 mm, compatível com menor probabilidade de obstrução dinâmica, e a aceleração do fluxo na VSVE diminuiu de forma acentuada. O gradiente em repouso era de 18,2 mmHg e não aumentava durante manobras provocativas (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f14">Figura 4</xref> e <xref ref-type="other" rid="m9">Vídeo 4</xref>). A FEVE e o SLG permaneceram estáveis (<xref ref-type="other" rid="m10">Vídeo 5</xref>). Diante da resposta clínica e hemodinâmica favorável, o mesmo esquema terapêutico foi mantido, com seguimento periódico programado.</p>

				<p>Esse caso é relevante não apenas por representar, até onde se tem conhecimento, o primeiro caso colombiano publicado de uso de mavacamten na CMH obstrutiva, mas também por ilustrar a seleção adequada de pacientes na prática clínica, as limitações da terapia convencional e o valor do acompanhamento ecocardiográfico seriado para orientar as decisões terapêuticas (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f15">Figura 5</xref> e <xref ref-type="table" rid="t2">Tabela 1</xref>).</p>

				<p>Uma das principais preocupações clínicas na CMH é sua associação com sintomas de insuficiência cardíaca e morte cardíaca súbita. Entre os marcadores prognósticos, destacam-se a espessura máxima da parede do ventrículo esquerdo e a obstrução dinâmica da VSVE. Em uma metanálise envolvendo 12.146 pacientes, ambas as variáveis estiveram associadas à morte cardiovascular (Hazard Ratio [HR]: 1,42; IC95%: 1,06–1,89; e HR: 1,52; IC95%: 1,11–2,07, respectivamente) e à morte cardíaca súbita (HR: 3,17; IC95%: 1,64–6,13; e HR: 2,41; IC95%: 1,55–3,73, respectivamente), ressaltando a importância do reconhecimento e do tratamento do fenótipo obstrutivo.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B6">6</xref></sup></p>
				<p>O mavacamten, primeiro inibidor da miosina aprovado para o tratamento da CMH, reduz a contratilidade excessiva e atenua a obstrução dinâmica da VSVE. Além disso, esse medicamento demonstrou benefício consistente em pacientes com CMH obstrutiva sintomática, incluindo melhora dos sintomas, da capacidade funcional e da qualidade de vida sob monitorização ecocardiográfica rigorosa.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B5">5</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B7">7</xref></sup> Um dos principais ensinamentos do caso apresentado é o papel do ecocardiograma seriado durante o tratamento. Com o acompanhamento ecocardiográfico, foi possível observar melhora clínica e hemodinâmica precoce, com redução progressiva do gradiente provocado da VSVE, preservação da FEVE, estabilidade do SLG, menor proeminência do MSA, aumento da distância entre o ponto de coaptação mitral e o septo e redução da aceleração do fluxo na VSVE. Esse comportamento é consistente com o estudo EXPLORER-HCM, no qual o mavacamten reduziu o gradiente da VSVE em 36 mmHg após exercício em comparação com placebo, além de melhorar os sintomas, a capacidade de exercício e a classe funcional da NYHA.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B8">8</xref></sup></p>
				<p>Outro achado interessante foi a tendência de redução da espessura septal e da massa indexada do ventrículo esquerdo. Alterações estruturais semelhantes foram relatadas em subestudos do EXPLORER-HCM avaliados por ressonância magnética cardíaca.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B9">9</xref></sup> No presente paciente, um padrão comparável foi observado durante o seguimento. Embora se trate de uma observação de um único caso e deva ser interpretada com cautela, ela permanece ilustrativa.</p>
				<p>Do ponto de vista prático, esse caso reforça o conceito de que o acompanhamento guiado por ecocardiografia pode facilitar o início e o monitoramento do tratamento com mavacamten na prática clínica em pacientes selecionados com CMH obstrutiva sintomática. Nesse contexto, os sintomas, a FEVE, o gradiente provocado da VSVE, o MSA e a distância entre o ponto de coaptação mitral e o septo podem fornecer uma estrutura útil para a avaliação longitudinal.</p>

				<title>Conclusão</title>
				<p>Esse caso ilustra que o mavacamten pode proporcionar benefício clínico e hemodinâmico precoce em pacientes selecionados com CMH obstrutiva sintomática. No paciente apresentado, a melhora dos sintomas e da obstrução da VSVE ocorreu com preservação da FEVE e estabilidade do SLG, reforçando o valor de uma abordagem guiada por ecocardiografia na prática clínica.</p>
