Abstract Summary
This case report describes the first documented instance of amivantamab-induced myocardial injury in a lung cancer patient. Despite tachycardia being the only symptom and normal cardiac biomarkers, imaging revealed decreased heart function. Early detection and intervention allowed continued treatment, highlighting the importance of monitoring cardiac symptoms even without elevated biomarkers.
