Bcr-Abl tyrosine kinase inhibitors used to treat chronic myelogenous leukemia have multiple target sites, and each drug is associated with different cardiovascular adverse reactions.

a: Imatinib has been shown to have positive effects on glucose blood levels, as well as lipid profile.

Abbreviations: CVA: cerebrovascular accident, DDR1: discoidin domain receptor 1, HT: hypertension, IHD: ischemic heart disease, PAOD peripheral arterial occlusive disease, PDGFR: platelet-derived growth factor receptor, TKI: Tyrosine kinase inhibitors, EGFR: vascular endothelial growth factor receptor, VTE: venous thromboembolism.
