As issued by the authors
Addressing clonal hematopoiesis (CH) as a potential contributor to cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) is important
Greater understanding of CH risk factors is important for individual and population-level risk assessment
Incorporating CH-associated risk into existing CVD risk prediction models may inform new personalized preventive or therapeutic approaches
No CH-specific therapies have proven efficacy in CVD treatment or prevention; molecular-based therapeutic hypotheses are beginning to be tested
