• 78% of contributors improved by ≥ 1 NYHA Class, and 67% improved to NYHA Class I (i.e. asymptomatic).

In contributors with nonobstructive HCM, EDG-7500 administration resulted in a dose-dependent discount in NT-proBNP, with a 42% imply lower from baseline at 100 mg.

• Substantial enhancements in KCCQ-OSS and KCCQ-Medical Abstract Scores, with substantial imply will increase of 17 factors and 22 factors, respectively, had been noticed on the 100 mg dose after solely 4 weeks.
