Thank you so much for reposting. It is very helpful. I had a consult at the Cleveland clinic and Myectomy was recommended with all my issues of rapid SOB on slight exertion, afib that is hard to control despite two ablations and 3 cardioversions. Am in sinus rhythm currently. Additionally I have a very enlarged Left Atrium ……it’s been remodeling for a while now. I feel I need to a surgical intervention vs Camzyos for any long term chance of some normalcy…..and some reversal of LA size. The decrease in size will help with Afib too. The cardiologist already warned me of a pacemaker as I already have a rt bundle branch block so heart block after myectomy is quite likely. It’s worrisome but I am coming to terms with it. Your positive experience is encouraging. I will begin the process of surgery soon. Did they determine your coronary artery disease status? I don’t have symptoms yet but have a strong family history and want everything fixed in one go if needed. 🙏

@leenag Yes, I had cardiac catheterization testing done a short while before my septal myectomy surgery. To the best of my (layman's) understanding, the purpose was to test for clogged arteries, and no problems were found.
