Differential Diagnosis between Sintilimab-related Autoimmune Myocarditis and Acute Myocardial Infarction
The manifestations of sintilimab-related autoimmune myocarditis are not specific. The medication history and concomitant symptoms are of warning value. Coronary angiography or coronary computed coronary tomography angiography can be helpful when ruling out acute myocardial infarction. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance and myocardial biopsy can confirm the diagnosis. Cardiac biomarkers and the electrocardiogram can assist in diagnosis and prognosis assessment.
