Baseline assessment and interval monitoring with a careful history, clinical examination, laboratory work-up, and noninvasive imaging modalities may be beneficial for early detection of immune checkpoint inhibitor-associated side effects.
Previous reports of immune checkpoint inhibitors' cardiotoxic effects include pericarditis, myocarditis, myocardial infarction, ventricular dysfunction, vasculitis, and electrical abnormalities. The authors report a case of acute heart failure caused by nivolumab-induced cardiotoxicity in a middle-aged man with advanced esophageal carcinoma with no previous cardiac history or significant cardiovascular risk factors.
通过详细病史、临床检查、实验室检查及无创成像手段进行基线评估和定期监测,可能有助于早期发现免疫检查点抑制剂相关的副作用。
既往关于免疫检查点抑制剂心脏毒性作用的报告包括心包炎、心肌炎、心肌梗死、心室功能障碍、血管炎及电异常。作者报告了一例由纳武单抗引起心脏毒性导致急性心力衰竭的病例,患者为一名中年晚期食管癌男性,既往无心脏病史或明显心血管危险因素。
