Myqorzo: has anyone tried this new alternative to Camzyos?

@karukgirl My dr is starting me on myqorzo first since they want me to try meds (per nurse ) before going on to surgery. my mitral valve is supposed to be a moderate regurg and I think no SAM. I'll see how it goes. I also get fatigue/weakness and low blood pressure (occassionally?) and shortness of breath after eating if I am exerting too much. Takes almost 2 hours for that to settle down. I am 72 and quite healthy enough for the surgery.

@priscillaj, that sounds like a reasonable plan.
I was diagnosed with severe SAM and severe MR (mitral regurgitation) and was also planning to have a valve replacement during my septal myectomy.
Well guess what?
Once they got the septum reduced, the LVOT outflow decreased and the mitral valve was fine.
Thank goodness!
I only mention this because with HOCM, there are so many other issues that coincide with the symptoms of the HOCM.
Fatigue, short of breath with little to no exertion , and rapid, pounding heart after a big meal are hallmarks of HOCM.
I'm glad you are otherwise healthy! That is a blessing going forward. No matter if you choose medication or surgery...being otherwise healthy will help you so much.
When do you start this new drug?
