We hypothesize that rapid relief of excess afterload may induce alterations potentially leading to high BP in patients with impaired peripheral vascular resistances. Patients with severe obstructive HCM and hypertension should be given special attention during mavacamten titration and should self-monitor the BP during this phase.
