Carfilzomib, a highly selective proteasome inhibitor, is commonly used in the treatment of multiple myeloma and AL amyloidosis. While its efficacy is well-established, there is increasing recognition of its association with cardiovascular adverse events, including hypertension, heart failure, and arrhythmias. However, cases of carfilzomib-induced pericardial disease remain rare. Here, we present a case of a 78-year-old female with multiple myeloma who experienced two episodes of hemorrhagic pericardial effusion following carfilzomib therapy, highlighting the importance of vigilant cardiovascular monitoring during treatment.
