Osimertinib is the preferred treatment in patients with metastatic non–small cell lung cancer with epidermal growth factor receptor mutations. We report a case series of acute cardiomyopathy with heart failure exacerbation during osimertinib treatment. We suggest that cardiotoxicity from osimertinib is reversible and occurs at a dose of 80 mg/day. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.)
