Abstract

Coronary angiogram Heart failure Immune checkpoint blocker Immune-related adverse events Myocardial biopsy Myocarditis Coronary angiogram Antineoplastic Agents, Immunological / therapeutic use Coronary Artery Disease Humans Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors / therapeutic use Nivolumab / therapeutic use
