Clonal hematopoiesis and circulating biomarkers in cardiovascular diseases.

Blood cell mutations linked to hematologic cancer also drive inflammation and heart disease, revealing a cross-specialty disease mechanism.

This review examines the intersection of clonal hematopoiesis and circulating biomarkers in cardiovascular disease, synthesizing evidence that CHIP-associated somatic mutations drive inflammatory cardiovascular phenotypes measurable through blood-based markers. The topic bridges hematologic malignancy precursors and cardiometabolic disease, an increasingly recognized cross-specialty link.

Why it surfaced

CHIP-cardiovascular nexus is an active research area; review adds little novelty but serves as pipeline-ready summary for this cross-specialty topic. Fukushima J Med Sci is a lower-impact journal.
