A septal myectomy is open heart surgery. Until Camzyos was available it was the best treatment for HOCM with severe symptoms. The best success rates are at Centres that do a lot of them, like Mayo, Cleveland and Toronto General Hospital.
I hope you consider Camzyos instead. If it doesn’t work you can look at having surgery instead. But give Camzyos a chance. That’s my experience and thankfully it works for me. I’m 75.

That was my aim. I live in SC and having a very hard time finding Cardiologist who is familiar, positive and licensed to prescribe this medication.
Also the cost is very high!
Is it covered through my Medicare advantage plan, what if plan drops you, distance to travel for monthly echos.

But haven’t had that discussion with a supportive cardiologist yet. Disappointing.
