All LVEF measurements per clinical echocardiogram. Persistent LV Dysfunction defined as two consecutive echocardiograms with LVEF <50%.

*

No difference between time points, p = NS.

**

Includes one patient with acute diastolic HF and segmental PE while on gemcitabine and docetaxel, one patient with admission for pneumonia complicated by acute HF, and two patients with checkpoint inhibitor associated myocarditis.

***

The only patient with persistent LV dysfunction had baseline LVEF < 50%.

****

Due to checkpoint inhibitor associated myocarditis.
