Abstract
Background
Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy has shown promise in treating hematologic malignancies, yet its potential cardiotoxic effects require thorough investigation.
Objectives
We aim to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to examine the cardiotoxic effects of CAR-T therapy in adults with hematologic malignancies.
Methods
We searched PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials for studies reporting cardiovascular outcomes, such as arrhythmias, heart failure, and reduced left ventricle ejection fraction (LVEF).
Results
Our analysis of 20 studies involving 4789 patients revealed a 19.68% incidence rate of cardiovascular events, with arrhythmias (7.70%), heart failure (5.73%), and reduced LVEF (3.86%) being the most prevalent. Troponin elevation was observed in 23.61% of patients, while NT-Pro-BNP elevation was observed in 9.4. Subgroup analysis showed higher risks in patients with pre-existing conditions, such as atrial arrhythmia (OR 3.12; p < .001), hypertension (OR 1.85; p = .002), previous heart failure (OR 3.38; p = .003), and coronary artery disease (OR 2.80; p = .003).
Conclusion
Vigilant cardiovascular monitoring is crucial for patients undergoing CAR-T therapy to enhance safety and treatment efficacy.Novelty Statements.
期刊介绍:
European Journal of Haematology is an international journal for communication of basic and clinical research in haematology. The journal welcomes manuscripts on molecular, cellular and clinical research on diseases of the blood, vascular and lymphatic tissue, and on basic molecular and cellular research related to normal development and function of the blood, vascular and lymphatic tissue. The journal also welcomes reviews on clinical haematology and basic research, case reports, and clinical pictures.
