Multimodal Imaging of Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Myocarditis

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have dramatically changed the landscape of cancer treatment and are increasingly used either as monotherapy or in combination with other ICIs, chemotherapy, and molecularly targeted agents. ICI myocarditis is a rare but potentially fatal irAE associated with the use of ICI characterized by T-cell mediated cardiomyocyte death. Diagnosing ICI myocarditis can be intricate as its atypical presentations. Multimodal imaging plays a crucial role in the diagnosis and risk stratification of ICI myocarditis. Current management strategies for ICI myocarditis include corticosteroids and immunosuppressants. Multidisciplinary collaboration is vital in these cases—combining oncology expertise with cardiology insights.
