Abstract

Recent developments in immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have provided new treatment strategies for advanced cancer. However, ICIs lead to an imbalance between T cell–mediated inflammatory responses and immune tolerance in the myocardium. Here we report the first case that implicates the contribution of ICI-induced vasculitis to myocardial injury. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.)
