CYTK Investors: Today we announced we will be presenting at the upcoming Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. investor conference on February 13, 2024. 

Today we recognize #WearRedDay to spread awareness for women's heart health. Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death for women, killing more women than all forms of cancer combined and impacting women of all ages. Yet, many women don’t know that heart disease is their number one killer, made even worse by the fact that certain heart diseases can be “silent” or not diagnosed. Together, by wearing red, we are showing our support for heart disease prevention and bringing attention to the importance of heart health. #HeartMonth #HeartDiseaseAwareness #OurHearts #GoRedForWomen

To celebrate #BlackHistoryMonth, we're honoring the rich tapestry of African American culture and heritage that has shaped our world. This month is not just about the past, it's a call to action for the present and future. Let's learn, engage and uplift one another as we continue to build a world that celebrates diversity.
