A decline in LVEF is common for patients with advanced melanoma treated with BRAF/MEKi but rarely clinically significant. No significant decline in LVEF was observed after evaluation at six months, therefore routine monitoring of LVEF might be stopped after six to nine months of BRAF/MEKi therapy. A low LVPERadj might be a risk factor for the development of cardiotoxicity and is suggested for further investigation.
