CVAEs were identified through clinical assessment and the Naranjo algorithm. The management and outcomes of CVAEs were monitored over a median follow-up duration of 8 months.Results: Among the included 203 patients, 4.4% (9/203) developed CVAEs, including heart failure (n = 3), arrhythmia (n = 2), myocarditis (n = 2), and pericardial disease (n = 2), with a proportion (6/9) tending to be severe (grade 3 or grade 4). CVAEs were more common in older patients (mean age: 73.6 ± 9.2 years) and those with hypertension (p = 0.02) or heart failure (p = 0.01). Adherence to the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) guidelines for managing CVAEs was low (44%), with most cases showing partial resolution by the last follow-up.Conclusion: We reported that the incidence of ICI-related CVAEs in the Chinese institution was higher than that in some prior studies. Adherence to guidelines for managing ICI-related CVAEs is found to be suboptimal in real-world practice and highlighted as a needed improvement.Keywords: immune checkpoint inhibitors, cardiotoxicity, retrospective study |
