I got a second opinion after my first Cardiologist recommended
Camzyos. The warning about heart failure scared me. So I went to Mayo in Phoenix for second opinion. His name was Dr. Cannon. He referred me to Mayo in Rochester, Minnesota. And wanted me to see Dr. Dearani.
So thankful to have the extra heart muscle removed. I’m hoping it makes a huge difference this summer when I go hiking with my friends. Maybe they won’t need to stop with me every 5 minutes going up hill.
Dr Dearani said I should be fine next summer.
Good luck in whatever you choose to do. The whole process is scary.

@mbi I am not able to hike any more unless it's on flat level ground. Any bit of an incline and I have to frequently stop to catch my breath. I hate it. Going up stairs is no fun. Thanks for the info; Mayo in Phoenix is my next step!

@mbi thank you for your response. My Basel septum is 1.8 how did yours measure?
