I missed this post by you about the gradient and septal thickness. My gradient before my first dose of Camzyos (5 mg) was 59.12, and 49.17 with valsalva. The gradient after 2 months on Camzyos was 11.89, and 11.15 with valsalva. There was no change in gradient when the dose changed to 10 mg and then back to 5 mg., but I was only on the 10 mg dose for a week or less because I notified my MD of worsening symptoms. I cannot find the figure for the septal thickness on the echo report (or more likely I don't know exactly what I am looking for or how to read it!) Obviously, the Camzyos has definitely helped me. I wish I had all or mostly all good days, but I still have one or two low energy days with shortness of breath per week. I am hoping the longer I am on the Camzyos, the better that will get. We shall see. Just fyi, I was not diagnosed until age 77, but at this point in my life my arthritis keeps me from doing many of the sports I enjoyed for so many years anyway. Please keep me posted on your progress.

Hi/ Katy - well I had the echo today. No gradient at rest. Under 20 with Valsalva. So good news with respect to the gradient. I did show “cordal SAM” at rest. And I need to discuss this with him further. But I’m still tired frequently and miss doing yard work and fixing the house and old cars. I like you I am hoping that things continue to improve. I’m trying to focus on eating healthier and limiting calorie and staying positive (which is the toughest part for me) Some on the Facebook Camzyos group have seen benefit from adding Jardiance as it helps with the diastolic disfunction. I need to explore this with the doctor more. He told me he doesn’t want to add anything else to the med cocktail. He’s a great doctor but I hate traveling into NYC to see him. The COE is a big, scary and busy place. Have you joined the Camzyos Facebook Group? I hope your arthritis will improve. I’d been nice to move about in the nice weather. I will keep you posted on my progress. Please do the same. best, John
