Has anyone heard of heart damage being caused RTX treatment. I have heard of one person getting RTX for cancer who had heart damage from it. My rheumatologist ordered a heart evaluation for me because of concern it might cause heart damage or even a heart attack and death if I had certain heart issues.

i read that RTX was only drug out over 300 that caused a significant risk of death in Covid patients. Most of the risk from RTX treatment are the initial infusion reactions which can be serious.

All medicines have side effects and some common drugs like antibiotics can have serious negative reaction although these are usually rather rare. i know 10 years ago my rheumatologist was reluctant to put me on RTX maintenance till other options were tried first.
