Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Microvascular Damage/Endothelial Dysfunction6 weeks

Number of subjects to develop microvascular damage/endothelial dysfunction as determined by the PET/CT scan.

PET-CT MFR used to assess dynamic changes in MFR that occur pre and post initiation of ICI and thereby potentially identify early cardiotoxicity in patients who might be more prone to more devastating IRAEs such as myocarditis.
