VF arrest secondary to immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)-associated myocarditis; improving patient outcomes by maintaining a high clinical suspicion for ICI toxicity by Victoria Floyd-Ellis

“…It also aids with CVT risk stratification pre-treatment, considering patients’ baseline cardiac risk factors and cancer therapy.3According to ESCO, the underlying cardiac history and ICI timeline stratify this reported patient in the most vulnerable group for cardiac toxicity. The decision to monitor the patient was lifesaving, reinforcing that maintaining a low threshold to investigate causes of vague, non-specific symptoms in patients receiving ICI treatment can significantly improve patient outcomes, particularly those with predisposing risk factors.…”
