Heart failure is a widespread cardiac pathology with high mortality rates in humans. The therapy of heart failure offers treatment by β-receptor blockers, inhibitors of angiotensin-converting enzymes, and aldosterone antagonists, which affect systolic function.However, the use of these compounds has at least two side effects: an increased Ca 2+ concentration in the cytosol of cardiomyocytes and increased demand for oxygen. 1,2 To overcome these problems, the novel therapy is based on a selective activation of myosin. [3][4][5][6][7][8] The activator is a low-molecular substance omecamtiv mecarbil (OM) which is currently under clinical trial phase 3. 9 It specifically binds to the heavy chain of cardiac β-myosin and enhances cardiac contractility by prolongation of actomyosin interaction.
