Aims: With the extensive use of tyrosine kinases
inhibitors(TKIs) in hepatocellular cancer, cardiac adverse events(AEs)
emerged in recent years. This study explored the cardiac AEs of TKIs
through the Food and Drug Administration’s Adverse Event Reporting
System (FAERS). Methods: Disproportionality analysis and Bayesian
analysis were utilized for data mining of the suspected cardiac AEs of
TKIs, based on FAERS data from January 2004 to December 2021. Results: A
total of 4708 cardiac AEs reports of sorafenib, regorafenib, lenvatinib
and cabozantinib were identifed. Among them, 17 cardiac AEs signals were
detected in regorafenib, 15 cardiac AEs signals were detected in
lenvatinib, 57 cardiac AEs signals were detected in sorafenib while 27
cardiac AEs signals were detected in cabozantinib. Hypertension accounts
for the most reported cardiac AE. Lenvatinib appears to induce cardiac
failure with the highest signals strength [ROR=7.7(3.46,17.17)].
Acute myocardial infarction were detected in lenvatinib
[ROR=7.91(5.64,11.09)] and sorafenib[ROR=2.22(1.74, 2.84)].
Acute coronary syndrome were detected in lenvatinib[ROR=11.57(6.84,
19.58)] and sorafenib [ROR=2.81(1.87,4.24)]. Atrial fibrillation
were detected in sorafenib [ROR=1.82(1.55,2.14)] and regorafenib
[ROR=1.36(1.03,1.81)]. Meanwhile, aortic dissection were detected in
sorafenib [ROR=5.08(3.31,7.8)] and regorafenib
[ROR=3.39(1.52,7.56)]. Most patients developed hypertension and
cardiac failure within 30 days after TKIs treatment. Patients taking
lenvatinib developed acute coronary syndrome increased in the periods of
180 days(64.29%) . Conclusion: Analysis of FAERS provides more precise
profile on the characteristics of cardiac AEs after different TKI
regimens. Distinct monitoring and appropriate management are needed in
the care of the TKIs recipients.
