My pulse and blood pressure went up on Kyprolis. I got a blood pressure cuff. I took my pulse and blood pressure every day at home and recorded it for my doctor . We don't want more issues than we already have. I wasn't on Kyprolis very long.

Certain treatments for multiple myeloma, such as Kyprolis (carfilzomib) and dexamethasone, can increase the risk of cardiovascular complications. Carfilzomib, in particular, has been shown to cause a higher risk of cardiac events, including heart damage, arrhythmia, and heart failure. Adding Sarclisa (isatuximab-irfc) to your regimen may also contribute to these effects, as it can cause infusion-related reactions and other side effects.

If you experience a significant increase in your resting heart rate, it's important to discuss this with your healthcare provider to ensure proper management and monitoring.
