Description Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) have dramatically improved the prognosis of CML patients with life expectancy close to individuals without CML [1], and therefore the longterm safety of TKIs has become especially important due to the potential for lifelong treatment. Nilotinib (NILO) tends to have a negative effect on lipid [2] and glucose [3] metabolism, while imatinib (IMA) seems to improve [4] these abnormalities. Although the data appear convincing, the real impact of these changes on cardiovascular (CV) risk and the development of CV complications during TKI therapy have not yet been confirmed.
