Discover muscle biology
Cytokinetics is a late-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering, developing, and commercializing first-in-class muscle activators and next-in-class muscle inhibitors as potential treatments for people with debilitating diseases in which muscle performance is compromised and/or declining.
Introduction to HF
Heart failure (HF) is a chronic, progressive condition in which the myocardium is unable to pump enough oxygen-rich blood to meet the body’s needs.
Introduction to HCM
In Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM), the ventricular myocardium thickens abnormally and has increased contractility.
Contractility drives performance
Understand the challenges of treating advanced heart failure and the burden of disease.
