Echocardiograms

Regular echocardiograms (also known as ECHOs) will help your doctor evaluate how CAMZYOS affects your heart. An ECHO is a test that uses sound waves to create pictures of the heart. These tests allow your doctor to see how your heart is responding to treatment, if your dose requires modification and to monitor for side effects. Based on the ECHO results, your doctor may increase, decrease or maintain your dose of CAMZYOS or pause or stop your treatment. Your first ECHO will be performed before starting CAMZYOS. Follow-up ECHOs will be 4, 8 and 12 weeks after your first dose of CAMZYOS and then every 12 weeks afterward. You will also need to have ECHOs as instructed by your doctor if your dose of CAMZYOS is changed or if the dose of another medicine you are taking is changed. This will mean that you will have a follow-up ECHO 4 and 8 weeks after your dose is changed and then return to the regular ECHO schedule of every 12 weeks.

It is important to schedule and attend ECHOs as instructed by your prescriber. Set reminders on your phone or calendar to help you remember the date and time of your ECHOs.
