I'm scheduled for another echo in 5 weeks just to confirm all is well. My doctor says that while I was his second patient on this drug, he now has many and feels comfortable overriding protocol where it makes sense.
I completely understand the need for the protocol as they try to find the lowest level required to eliminate HCM symptoms for each individual while not decreasing heart pumping too much.
Did anyone else ever play that video game "lunar lander" back in the early 80's? the strategy feels a lot like that LOL!
