    The study evaluated sex-based differences in major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) following CAR-T therapy using real-world data.

  • 2

    Among 4,944 matched patients, males had a higher incidence of MACE compared to females at both 1 and 2 years post-CAR-T therapy.

  • 3

    At 1 year, the risk ratio for MACE in males was 1.22, and at 2 years, it was 1.15, indicating a persistent higher risk.

  • 4

    Males also exhibited higher all-cause mortality and increased risks of arrhythmias and conduction abnormalities at 2 years.

  • 5

    The findings suggest the need for incorporating biological sex into cardiovascular risk assessment in CAR-T therapy patients.
