However,the treatment is accompanied by signifi⁃ cant toxicities,the most widely reported being cytokine release syndrome(CRS)and neurotoxicity. While the true characteristics and mechanisms of cardiotoxicity remain unclear. This article summarizes the current acquaintance with cardiotoxicity of CD19 CAR⁃T cell therapy by introducing its mechanisms,clinical manifestation,prevention and treatment advances,aiming to minimize the risk of cardioascular complications,make more cancer patients benefit from the potential life⁃saving treatment.
