Abstract
- Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) can induce immunity-related adverse events. We demonstrate the clinical use of cardiac magnetic resonance and endomyocardial biopsy in the diagnosis and subsequent monitoring of ICI-associated myocarditis, suggesting the need to establish and evaluate a cardiac monitoring protocol for patients under ICI therapy.
