This week on BioTech Nation, Robert Blum, CEO of CytoKinetics, joins me to talk about the company’s decades-long mission to keep hearts beating stronger and longer. With one heart drug under FDA review and more in the pipeline, CytoKinetics is working to address the full spectrum of heart failure, from weak hearts to overactive ones, and even exploring muscle health beyond the heart to support healthy aging.
