Omecamtiv mecarbil for heart failure: Unpacking the latest systematic review and meta-analysis
In February 2023, a systematic review and meta-analysis of six randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with a total of 9,596 patients assessed the effectiveness and safety of omecamtiv mecarbil (OM) versus placebo in patients with heart failure with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (HFrEF). HFrEF is a significant health problem associated with high morbidity and mortality worldwide. OM is a novel drug that targets cardiac myosin, a cytoskeletal motor protein responsible for converting chemical energy to mechanical force.
