Hi everyone, I have HCM and started Camzyos three months ago. My most recent echo showed "a trace pericardial effusion, which appears to be free-flowing." I’m wondering if this could be a side effect of the medication. Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks in advance for sharing your insights!

Hello @mcgu, and welcome to Mayo Connect. It looks like this is your first post. Have you had a chance to poke around here on Connect? I gave you a link to the Camzyos support group in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy that has lot of information about all sorts of things related to taking Camzyos.
I also posted the Camzyos link for patients, have you gone there to look for answers?
I was not able to take Camzyos, and had to have open heart surgery for my HOCM, so I cannot speak to what all the side effects of Camzyos can be.
What did your cardiologist have to say about the pericardial effusion? When is your next echo?
