Abstract

An important consideration is the potential cardiovascular toxicity of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in cancer therapy, given their increasing popularity and revolutionizing effects on certain treatment regimens. However, ICIs also exhibit unavoidable side effects such as immune-related adverse events (irAEs), which are particularly significant due to their interaction with underlying diseases. This review aims to explore the reported cardiovascular toxicity in patients treated with ICIs, providing insights into potential mechanisms, monitoring methods, and management strategies for the rational use of these drugs. The awareness of ICIs' use is crucial for clinicians as these adverse immune events can interact with the patient's underlying disease. This review focuses on cardiovascular toxicity reported in patients after ICI usage, aiming to elaborate potential mechanisms, monitoring methods, and management strategies that may inspire rational clinical use of ICIs.
