Selective in vitro enhancement of cardiac myosin motor function and myofilament force generation by danicamtiv prompted clinical evaluation. A short course of danicamtiv was generally well tolerated in participants with #DCM. jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.jacc.…

Here are all AHFTC fellowship programs that offered spots in last 5 years, and # of fellows they matched. 13 programs trained 50% of fellows. #HFSA2025 Skewed uneven distribution. Mega centers train most of the field. Insufficient exposure to community and rural needs. Worrisome.
We're recruiting for AHFTC Fellowship at MedStar- Georgetown. 47 OHT/65 LVAD FY2024. Nationally recognized Infiltrative CMP Program, PH, shock team, cardiogenetics. @MrinaliniKrish2 @fsheikh22 @PhilLamMd @AfariArmahN @RichaGuptaMD @miguelpinillav medstarhealth.org/education/…
On clinical screening, 1 in 7 FDRs of patients c/DCM have newly diagnosed DCM or partial DCM phenotype @DCMProject @RayHershberger @gordonshuggins @eksjordan @greg_ewald @amorrismd @tikuowens @WilsonTangMD @bhtrachtenberg @PalakShahMD @DrNancySweitzer @MWheelerMD @WilcoxHeart
What is the value of clinical screening among reportedly unaffected first-degree relatives of patients (probands) with dilated cardiomyopathy?

Assumptions regarding dilated cardiomyopathy genetic architecture derived from European ancestry may not apply to African ancestry; a current lack of case data limits clinical genetics care for patients of African ancestry with dilated cardiomyopathy. ja.ma/3DEyRw0
