Cardiac MRI in Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Associated Pericarditis

Abstract

Checkpoint inhibitors are novel and promising anticancer agents. However, acute pericarditis is the second most common chemotherapy-associated cardiotoxicity and associated with high mortality up to 21%. Cardiac MRI offers a one-stop-shop cardiac analysis to precisely detect chemotherapy-associated cardiotoxicity without nephrotoxic contrast dye and ionizing radiation.
