Hi Karen,
I am on month 2 of Camzyos. I went from 257 LVOT down to 57. Still on 3 blood pressure meds and still tired with naps. Hopefully this will improves. Did it improve for you right away or over time? Thanks.

Hi. I’ve been on Camzyos for almost a year. So glad to hear from Karen317. I felt better soon after starting Camzyos - more energy, less angina, fewer naps. But the LVOT gradient didn’t come down. My dr wanted me to stop Camzyos and have surgery. I persisted and asked to try higher dose instead. After 6 months the LVOT started to come down. I started on highest dose in November and by January the LVOT dropped from 119 to 58. By April this year it’s down to 7. I think some of us take longer to respond. If you’re feeling ok, stay with it! Great to hear about other people’s response. Thanks to all of you.
