DISCUSSION The first reported case of heart failure with reduced LVEF with osimertinib
developed within 3 weeks of starting therapy (5), whereas our patient presented with symptoms …

Background: Decreased right ventricular (RV) ejection fraction (RVEF) portends poor
prognosis in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy, and previous studies have suggested an …

Background Staphylococcus lugdunensis is a coagulase-negative organism that causes a
rare but destructive form of infective endocarditis (IE). We sought to evaluate the clinical and …
