Patients with preexisting cardiac conditions did not show an increased risk for immune-related complications like cytokine release (OR 1.19, 95%CI 0.77-1.82) or neurotoxicity syndrome (OR 1.59, 95%CI 0.94-2.69). They faced higher long-term risks for major cardiovascular events (OR 1.89, 95%CI 1.23-2.91) and kidney failure (OR 2.98, 95%CI 1.85-4.81).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Cardiovascular complications in CAR T-cell therapy were rare and primarily affected patients with preexisting cardiac conditions. Serious cardiac events were uncommon acutely but increased over time. The analysis underscores the need for risk-adapted follow-up and cardiological assessments to improve outcomes in patients with cardiac comorbidities. Inherent with the databases used, these results should be interpreted with caution, as underreporting and overreporting could introduce bias regarding risik factors and outcomes in both directions.<\/jats:p>\n
