Decreased Absolute Lymphocyte Count and Increased Neutrophil/Lymphocyte Ratio With Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor–Associated Myocarditis Open
Background Myocarditis attributable to immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy is a potentially fatal immune‐related adverse event. Limited data have suggested an association between baseline and on‐treatment absolute lymphocyte count (A…

Association Between Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors With Cardiovascular Events and Atherosclerotic Plaque Open
Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) treat an expanding range of cancers. Consistent basic data suggest that these same checkpoints are critical negative regulators of atherosclerosis. Therefore, our objectives were to test whet…
