Implication
ICI myocarditis demands clinical vigilance given high fatality; review leaves open optimal prevention and management strategies.
Structured PICO
P
Population
Patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) who develop or are at risk for cardiovascular toxicities, particularly myocarditis
I
Intervention
Medical imaging, including cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (cMRI), and endomyocardial biopsy
O
Outcome
Diagnosis, prognostication, and treatment decisions for ICI-related myocarditis
This review highlights the role and limitations of medical imaging, particularly cMRI, alongside endomyocardial biopsy in the diagnosis and management of ICI-related myocarditis.
