Core Tip Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have revolutionized treatments and outcomes in oncology, but can cause serious ICI-related cardiac adverse events. This first comprehensive Middle Eastern study revealed that delayed-onset heart failure, rather than myocarditis, predominated among affected patients, with pembrolizumab being the most common implicated ICI. The 2.1% incidence and high mortality necessiates the need for early cardiac surveillance and risk stratification.
