Inhibition of Programmed Cell Death-1 in Cytotoxic CD8+ T Cells Exacerbates Pressure Overload-Induced Cardiac Injury.
BACKGROUND The use of anti-programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) antibody increases heart failure (HF) risk in patients with cancer with preexisting cardiovascular conditions. However, the underlying mechanism remains incompletely understood. METHODS To evaluate the effects of anti-PD-1 antibody on transverse aortic constri...
