Key result
Endomyocardial biopsy successfully diagnosed immune checkpoint inhibitor-related myocarditis in a patient who had normal cardiac magnetic resonance imaging.
Why the study?
Can endomyocardial biopsy diagnose ICI-related myocarditis in patients with a normal cardiac magnetic resonance imaging?
Population
1 patient treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) admitted for suspicion of myocarditis
Comparison
Endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) vs Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (cMRI)

EMB can identify ICI-myocarditis missed by cMRI; leaves open whether biopsy should supplement imaging in high-suspicion cases.

Can endomyocardial biopsy diagnose ICI-related myocarditis in patients with a normal cardiac magnetic resonance imaging?
Endomyocardial biopsy can diagnose ICI-related myocarditis even when cardiac MRI is normal, highlighting its potential value in suspected cases.
Éderhy et al. (2020) conducted a case report in Immune checkpoint inhibitor-associated myocarditis (n=1). Endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) vs. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (cMRI) was evaluated on Diagnosis of ICI-related myocarditis. Endomyocardial biopsy successfully diagnosed immune checkpoint inhibitor-related myocarditis in a patient who had normal cardiac magnetic resonance imaging.
