Trientine for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: a phase 2 trial.

European heart journal·July 15, 2026·PMID 42455121

Why it matters

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy lacks therapies directly targeting underlying myocardial hypertrophy and fibrosis. Trientine, a copper chelator, addresses proposed disease mechanisms by improving intracellular copper trafficking and reducing profibrotic signaling, offering a potential disease-modifying approach beyond symptom management.
