This PeerView Clinical Consults activity features cardio-oncologist Javid Moslehi, MD, and medical oncologist Douglas B. Johnson, MD, MSCI, who explain why greater awareness is needed among cardiology professionals about the cardiac toxicities associated with cancer immunotherapies, known as immune-related adverse events (irAEs), and their clinical manifestations. These experts provide practical guidance on strategies and techniques for diagnosing, staging, and managing patients who present with various cardiac irAEs. This virtual session will engage participants with opportunities to participate in consultative assessments of real-world patient cases, including contributing to key aspects of diagnostic decision-making and deliberation of optimal strategies for collaborative mitigation of cardiac irAEs. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Summarize the prevalence, biologic mechanisms, burden, and consequences of the development of cardiac immune-related adverse effects (irAEs) during or after treatment with cancer immunotherapies, Utilize algorithms and practical tools based on the latest clinical evidence and recommendations for identification, diagnosis/differential diagnosis, treatment, and management of cardiac irAEs, Integrate shared decision-making, team-based approaches, and telemedicine to facilitate multidisciplinary and interprofessional collaboration and care coordination and improve clinician-patient communication and patient outcomes.
