I just had my second echocardiogram being on Camzyos. I started with a LVOT gradient of 100mmHG and my EF was 79. After taking 5 mg for a 4 weeks my LVOT gradient dropped to 16mmHg and my EF was 73. I was changed to 2.5 mg camzyos for weeks 5-8 and today my LVOT gradient increased to 21mmHG and my EF was 67. All great news as I would have been taken off the drug if my LVOT was below 20. I am feeling great and fortunate that I am reacting well to camzyos so far. As many of you know, the opposite reaction is frustrating and can be frightening.

Great news @nbs! Thanks for sharing that with the group. It must be comforting knowing your results are positive and things are going well. How long do they plan to keep you on the 2.5 mg before another echo?
