Evaluation of all-cause mortality and cardiovascular safety in patients receiving chimeric antigen receptor T cell therapy: a prospective cohort study

Assessment of cardiovascular risk is critical for patients with cancer. Previous retrospective studies suggest potential cardiotoxicity of CAR T cell therapies. We aimed to prospectively assess cardiotoxicity and the predictive value of cardiac biomarkers and classical risk factors (age, cardiac function, diabetes, arterial hypertension, smoking) for cardiac events and all-cause mortality (ACM).
