Abstract
Immune-based therapies—including immune checkpoint inhibitors, bispecific T cell engagers, chimeric antigen receptor T cells, and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes— not only have transformed cancer treatment, but also have introduced significant cardiovascular complications, posing new challenges for cardio-oncology. Growing recognition of cardiovascular immune-related adverse events has spurred research into the immune–cardiovascular interface, particularly dysregulated signaling, T cell overactivation, and cytokine release. This review synthesizes recent insights into the role of immune checkpoints in cardiovascular disease, the mechanisms of immune checkpoint inhibitor– and T cell–induced cardiotoxicity, and the therapeutic potential of immune checkpoint modulation and chimeric antigen receptor T cell therapy in cardiovascular applications.
期刊介绍:
JACC: CardioOncology is a specialized journal that belongs to the esteemed Journal of the American College of Cardiology (JACC) family. Its purpose is to enhance cardiovascular care for cancer patients by publishing high-quality, innovative scientific research and sharing evidence-based knowledge.
The journal aims to revolutionize the field of cardio-oncology and actively involve and educate professionals in both cardiovascular and oncology fields. It covers a wide range of topics including pre-clinical, translational, and clinical research, as well as best practices in cardio-oncology. Key areas of focus include understanding disease mechanisms, utilizing in vitro and in vivo models, exploring novel and traditional therapeutics (across Phase I-IV trials), studying epidemiology, employing precision medicine, and investigating primary and secondary prevention.
Amyloidosis, cardiovascular risk factors, heart failure, and vascular disease are some examples of the disease states that are of particular interest to the journal. However, it welcomes research on other relevant conditions as well.
