“My obstructive HCM symptoms left me feeling like even the small things were too big. But with CAMZYOS® reducing my symptoms, I’ve gone from falling behind to getting into the swing of things.”

Barbara, a patient living with symptomatic obstructive HCM, and her husband, Tom, were compensated for their time. Individual results may vary.
HCM=hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
Meet Barbara
Barbara, who was told as a child she had a heart murmur, was used to living with symptoms such as occasionally becoming out of breath or feeling faint on a very hot day. This was her “normal,” so it didn’t occur to her to see a doctor about it. But one day when she was being prescreened for unrelated back surgery, she was diagnosed with symptomatic obstructive HCM.
Barbara was put on a beta-blocker for a period of time, but her symptoms were still not improving to where she’d like. She was told that she would be a candidate for surgery, but by advocating for herself, she learned about a clinical trial. She was eligible to enroll, and after completion she learned she was receiving CAMZYOS.
Check in with Barbara
Barbara started taking CAMZYOS as part of a clinical trial and has been taking it ever since. In that time, she has seen symptom improvement, found that she can walk more, and do things at an improved pace. She and her husband have been making plans with some friends to travel, something she is very excited about.
