Abstract
Globally, cardiovascular diseases take the lives of over 17 million people each year, mostly through myocardial infarction, or MI, and heart failure (HF). This comprehensive literature review examines various aspects related to the diagnosis, prediction, and prognosis of HF in the context of machine learning (ML). The review covers an array of topics, including the diagnosis of HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and the identification of high-risk patients with HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). The prediction of mortality in different HF populations using different ML approaches is explored, encompassing patients in the ICU, and HFpEF patients using biomarkers and gene expression. The review also delves into the prediction of mortality and hospitalization rates in HF patients with mid-range ejection fraction (HFmrEF) using ML methods. The findings highlight the significance of a multidimensional approach that encompasses clinical evaluation, laboratory assessments, and comprehensive research to improve our understanding and management of HF. Promising predictive models incorporating biomarkers, gene expression, and consideration of epigenetics demonstrate potential in estimating mortality and identifying high-risk HFpEF patients. This literature review serves as a valuable resource for researchers, clinicians, and healthcare professionals seeking a comprehensive and updated understanding of the role of ML diagnosis, prediction, and prognosis of HF across different subtypes and patient populations.

Abstract
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most prevalent heritable cardiomyopathy. HCM is considered to be caused by mutations in cardiac sarcomeric protein genes. Recent research suggests that the genetic foundation of HCM is much more complex than originally postulated. The clinical presentations of HCM are very variable. Some mutation carriers remain asymptomatic, while others develop severe HCM, terminal heart failure, or sudden cardiac death. Heterogeneity regarding both genetic mutations and the clinical course of HCM hinders the establishment of universal genotype-phenotype correlations. However, some trends have been identified. The presence of a mutation in some genes encoding sarcomeric proteins is associated with earlier HCM onset, more severe left ventricular hypertrophy, and worse clinical outcomes. There is a diversity in the mechanisms implicated in the pathogenesis of HCM. They may be classified into groups, but they are interrelated. The lack of known supplementary elements that control the progression of HCM indicates that molecular mechanisms that exist between genotype and clinical presentations may be crucial. Secondary molecular changes in pathways implicated in HCM pathogenesis, post-translational protein modifications, and epigenetic factors affect HCM phenotypes. Cardiac loading conditions, exercise, hypertension, diet, alcohol consumption, microbial infection, obstructive sleep apnea, obesity, and environmental factors are non-molecular aspects that change the HCM phenotype. Many mechanisms are implicated in the course of HCM. They are mostly interconnected and contribute to some extent to final outcomes.

Abstract
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a primary myocardial disorder characterized by left ventricular hypertrophy, hyperdynamic contraction, and impaired relaxation of the heart. These functional derangements arise directly from altered sarcomeric function due to either mutations in genes encoding sarcomere proteins, or other defects such as abnormal energetics. Current treatment options do not directly address this causal biology but focus on surgical and extra-sarcomeric (sarcolemmal) pharmacological symptomatic relief. Mavacamten (formerly known as MYK-461), is a small molecule designed to regulate cardiac function at the sarcomere level by selectively but reversibly inhibiting the enzymatic activity of myosin, the fundamental motor of the sarcomere. This review summarizes the mechanism and translational progress of mavacamten from proteins to patients, describing how the mechanism of action and pharmacological characteristics, involving both systolic and diastolic effects, can directly target pathophysiological derangements within the cardiac sarcomere to improve cardiac structure and function in HCM. Mavacamten was approved by the Food and Drug Administration in April 2022 for the treatment of obstructive HCM and now goes by the commercial name of Camzyos.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), a phenotypically variable disorder with a genetic basis, was first described in the late 1800s. Since the discovery of the disease, various medical and surgical treatments have been proposed with surgical treatments proving to be of more benefit than medical in patients with severe symptoms. Although beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, and disopyramide have been used for their negative inotropic effect, the data behind utilization of these medications is weak at best. AREAS COVERED Herein, we describe a first-in-man class of medications called cardiac myosin inhibitors (CMI), which have been recently approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of symptomatic patients with obstructive HCM. PubMed was the primary database searched. EXPERT OPINION Whether these medications will stand the test of time remains to be seen. They do appear to provide significant benefit and disease modification in early randomized trials with the drawback of decreasing contractility and ejection fraction. In our opinion, this new class of medications is an option for patients with NYHA class II-III symptoms from obstructive HCM who have EF ≥ 55%.

Abstract
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is characterized by an abnormal thickening of the myocardium, leading to left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. Current treatments for HCM include non-disease-specific medications such as beta blockers or invasive interventions. Mavacamten has been studied for its effects on adenosine triphosphatase, myocardial-specific sarcomeric proteins, and myocardial tissue calcium sensitivity. Given these properties, mavacamten could be used as a disease-specific treatment for HCM. Clinical trials of mavacamten have shown improvements in left ventricular outflow tract obstruction among other favorable improvements in biochemical markers and the clinical symptoms of the disease. While trials to date have been relatively small, mavacamten shows promise as a future disease-specific treatment for HCM.

Abstract
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common genetically inherited cardiomyopathy with an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern. A disease-causing gene is found between 34% and >60% of the times and the two most frequently mutated genes, which encode sarcomeric proteins, are MYBPC3 and MYH7. HCM is a diagnosis of exclusion since secondary causes of left ventricular hypertrophy should first be ruled out. These include hypertension, aortic stenosis, infiltrative disease, metabolic and endocrine disorders, mitochondrial cardiomyopathies, neuromuscular disorders, malformation syndromes and some chronic drug use. The disease is characterized by great heterogeneity of its clinical manifestations, however diastolic dysfunction and increased ventricular arrhythmogenesis are commonly seen. Current HCM therapies focus on symptom management and prevention of sudden cardiac death. Symptom management includes the use of pharmacological agents, elimination of medication promoting outflow track obstruction, control of comorbid conditions and invasive procedures, whereas in the prevention of sudden cardiac death, implantable cardiac defibrillators and antiarrhythmic drugs are used. A targeted therapy for LVOTO represented by allosteric cardiac myosin inhibitors has been developed. In terms of sport participation, a more liberal approach is recently recommended, after careful evaluation and common-shared decision. The application of the current therapies has lowered HCM mortality rates to <1.0%/year, however it appears to have shifted focus to heart failure and atrial fibrillation, as the predominant causes of disease-related morbidity and mortality and, therefore, unmet treatment need. With improved understanding of the genetic and molecular basis of HCM, the present decade will witness novel treatments for disease prevention and modification.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a complex cardiac disease with highly variable phenotypic expression and clinical course most often caused by sarcomeric gene mutations resulting in left ventricular hypertrophy, fibrosis, hypercontractility, and diastolic dysfunction. For almost 60 years, HCM has remained an orphan disease and still lacks a disease-specific treatment. AREAS COVERED This review summarizes recent preclinical and clinical trials with repurposed drugs and new emerging pharmacological and gene-based therapies for the treatment of HCM. EXPERT OPINION The off-label drugs routinely used alleviate symptoms but do not target the core pathophysiology of HCM or prevent or revert the phenotype. Recent advances in the genetics and pathophysiology of HCM led to the development of cardiac myosin adenosine triphosphatase inhibitors specifically directed to counteract the hypercontractility associated with HCM-causing mutations. Mavacamten, the first drug specifically developed for HCM successfully tested in a phase 3 trial, represents the major advance for the treatment of HCM. This opens new horizons for the development of novel drugs targeting HCM molecular substrates which hopefully modify the natural history of the disease. The role of current drugs in development and genetic-based approaches for the treatment of HCM are also discussed.

Abstract
Stomatin-like protein-2 (SLP-2) is a mitochondrial-associated protein that is abundant in cardiomyocytes. Many reports have shown that SLP-2 plays an important role in mitochondria. The treatment of mitochondrial cardiomyopathy (MCM) needs further improvement, so the relationship between SLP-2 and MCM is worth exploring. This study reviewed some protective mechanisms of SLP-2 on mitochondria. Published studies have shown that SLP-2 protects mitochondria by stabilising the function of optic atrophy 1 (OPA1), promoting mitofusin (Mfn) 2 expression, interacting with prohibitins and cardiolipin, forming SLP-2-PARL-YME1L (SPY) complex, and stabilising respiratory chain complexes, suggesting that SLP-2 is a new potential target for the treatment of MCM. However, the specific mechanism of SLP-2 needs to be confirmed by further research.
