Abstract
Background: The complex process of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) and the uncertainty of each parameter in the diagnosis and prognosis of cardiotoxicity limit its promotion in the cardiac evaluation of patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI).
Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted across PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and Cochrane databases for relevant articles published up until September 28, 2024.
Results: After screening, 8 articles were included in this study. The analysis revealed that following ICI treatment, the left ventricular global longitudinal strain (GLS) increased significantly [weighted mean difference (WMD) 2.33; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.26, 3.41; p < 0.01], while the global radial strain (GRS) decreased [WMD -4.73; 95% CI -6.74, -2.71; p < 0.01]. Additionally, T1 and T2 values increased [standardized mean difference (SMD) 1.14; 95% CI 0.59, 1.68; p < 0.01] and [SMD 1.11; 95% CI 0.64, 1.58; p < 0.01], respectively. An elevated T2 was associated with a higher occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), with a hazard ratio of 1.36 (95% CI 1.12, 1.64).
Conclusions: Our findings demonstrate that T1, T2, and GLS increase, while GRS decreases following ICI administration. By consolidating these critical metrics, we propose a streamlined, abbreviated (non-contrast) CMR protocol that can be completed within 15 minutes, thereby facilitating the integration of CMR in cardio-oncology.

期刊介绍:
RCM is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal. RCM publishes research articles, review papers and short communications on cardiovascular medicine as well as research on cardiovascular disease. We aim to provide a forum for publishing papers which explore the pathogenesis and promote the progression of cardiac and vascular diseases. We also seek to establish an interdisciplinary platform, focusing on translational issues, to facilitate the advancement of research, clinical treatment and diagnostic procedures. Heart surgery, cardiovascular imaging, risk factors and various clinical cardiac & vascular research will be considered.
