Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Rachad M Harb"

  • - Rachad M Harb's research primarily focuses on the intersection of oncology and cardiology, particularly regarding rare presentations of malignancies like non-small cell lung cancer.
  • - One notable case study described by Harb involves a 54-year-old female patient where non-small cell lung cancer manifested as a mobile left atrial mass, highlighting the potential for cardiac symptoms to be the initial indication of underlying malignancies.
  • - Harb emphasizes the importance of recognizing atypical signs, such as cardiac murmur and dyspnea, which can lead to crucial early diagnosis and intervention in patients with metastatic diseases.
