The predictive value of high sensitivity troponin measurements in patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors

Barliz Waissengein et al.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the changes in high sensitivity-Troponin (hs-Tn) levels in cancer patients treated with pembrolizumab and found that abnormally elevated hs-TnI was a significant predictor for the development of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) and all-cause mortality.

Diagnosis and Treatment of Acute Myocarditis A Review

Enrico Ammirati et al.

Summary: Acutemyocarditis is a sudden inflammatory injury to the myocardium, affecting around 4 to 14 people per 100 000 annually with a mortality rate of about 1% to 7%. The most common causes include viruses, autoimmune disorders, drugs, and vaccines. Symptoms include chest pain, dyspnea, and syncope. Diagnosis can be made through symptoms, biomarkers, electrocardiographic changes, and imaging/biopsy. Treatment depends on the severity, clinical presentation, and etiology.

The foundations of immune checkpoint blockade and the ipilimumab approval decennial

Alan J. Korman et al.

Summary: Cancer immunotherapy has significantly impacted patient survival in multiple high-incidence cancer indications over the past decade, mainly due to the success of immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) drugs. These drugs block specific pathways to attenuate T cell activation, prevent, or reverse, acquired peripheral tolerance, leading to their effectiveness.

Skeletal Muscle Disorders: A Noncardiac Source of Cardiac Troponin T

Jeanne du Fay de Lavallaz et al.

Summary: This study aimed to confirm the cardiac specificity of cTnT in patients with various skeletal muscle disorders (SMDs). The results showed that elevations in cTnT concentrations in patients with active chronic SMDs are common and not attributable to cardiac disease, while this phenomenon was not observed for cTnI. The re-expression of cTnT in skeletal muscle may partially explain this.

Summary: The number of cancer survivors in the United States is increasing due to population growth, aging, and improved detection and treatment. The most prevalent cancers are prostate, skin melanoma, and colon and rectum for males, and breast, uterine corpus, and thyroid for females. Treatment disparities exist, with Black patients being less likely to be diagnosed with early-stage cancer and having lower surgical receipt rates.

Identification of Pathogenic Immune Cell Subsets Associated With Checkpoint Inhibitor-Induced Myocarditis

Han Zhu et al.

Summary: This study identified expanded cytotoxic CD8(+) Temra cells in the blood of patients with ICI myocarditis, which were clonally expanded and exhibited activated and cytotoxic phenotypes. These cells progressed into an exhausted phenotype after glucocorticoid treatment. The study also demonstrated the interaction between these expanded cells and innate immune cells, as well as the absence of key anti-inflammatory signals.

Biomarker Trends, Incidence, and Outcomes of Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor-Induced Myocarditis

Alexi Vasbinder et al.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the biomarker trends and their association with the incidence and outcomes of immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) myocarditis. The results showed that patients with ICI myocarditis had elevated levels of AST, ALT, and CPK. An increase in noncardiac biomarkers, especially CPK, during ICI treatment should prompt further evaluation for ICI myocarditis.

Intrinsic Differences in Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor-Induced Myocarditis: A Retrospective Analysis of Real World Data

Yanna Lei et al.

Summary: This study aimed to identify baseline characteristics that could differentiate mild from severe immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) myocarditis. The severity of myocarditis may be correlated with lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and troponin levels. Patients who experienced multiple immune-related adverse events (irAEs) typically had higher levels of LDH and myoglobin. Corticosteroid therapy is critical for the treatment of myocarditis.

Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Cardiotoxicity: Understanding Basic Mechanisms and Clinical Characteristics and Finding a Cure

Sarah Waliany et al.

Summary: ICIs alter the immune system's response to cancerous tissues but can lead to varying degrees of autoimmunity, with cardiovascular complications such as myocarditis emerging as significant side effects. Understanding the mechanisms underlying these toxicities may help improve patient outcomes by reducing treatment-related morbidity.

Circulating leukocyte-platelet complexes as a predictive biomarker for the development of immune-related adverse events in advanced non-small cell lung cancer patients receiving anti-PD-(L)1 blocking agents

Carlos Zamora et al.

Summary: The study found that NSCLC patients had higher percentages of circulating leukocyte-platelet (PLT) complexes, and specific types of CD4 + PLT + and CD14 + PLT + complexes were associated with different types of irAEs, serving as predictive factors.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) in COVID-19 and its correlation with other inflammatory biomarkers. The results showed that EAT volume was positively correlated with inflammatory markers NLR and PLR, negatively correlated with LCR, and EAT density was significantly different between decedents and survivors.

Summary: The study aimed to analyze severe immune-related adverse events seen among hospitalized patients receiving ICI therapy. The most common reasons for hospitalization were gastrointestinal, pulmonary, and hepatic toxicities. Patients with multiple organ involvement had a higher risk of inpatient mortality.

Association of blood biomarkers and autoimmunity with immune related adverse events in patients with cancer treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors

Despina Michailidou et al.

Summary: This study investigated the association between immune related adverse events (irAEs) and biomarkers in cancer patients receiving immune checkpoint inhibitors, identifying several risk factors. Patients with specific laboratory markers and clinical features had an increased risk of irAEs while lower NLR, MLR, and PLR were associated with longer overall survival. These findings suggest that baseline measurements and autoimmune history play a role in predicting irAEs and outcomes.

Can Yao et al.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate the prognostic value of circulating biomarkers in predicting mortality of AECOPD patients with HF. High levels of NLR, CRP/ALB, and NT-proBNP may be clinically useful predictors for death in these patients. Combining NLR with CRP/ALB and NT-proBNP provides higher accuracy for predicting 28-day mortality.
