Targeted failure of the week. Post No 99. Omecamtiv mecarbil

Omecamtiv mecarbil is a novel, small-molecule, direct activator of cardiac myosin, the motor protein that causes cardiac contraction. It is being evaluated as a potential treatment of heart failure in both intravenous and oral formulations with the goal of establishing a new continuum of care for patients in both the in-hospital and outpatient settings.
