a

Normal phenotype included CYP2C19 genotype *1/*1; intermediate phenotype included CYP2C19 genotypes *1/*2, *1/*3, and *2/*17; poor phenotype included CYP2C19 genotypes *2/*2 and *2/*3; rapid phenotype included CYP2C19 genotype *1/*17; ultra-rapid phenotype included CYP2C19 genotype *17/*17. There were no rapid or ultrarapid metabolizers in either group.

Based on subset of 58 patients (39 in mavacamten group and 19 in placebo group) eligible for CMR imaging.
