Abstract
The development of myeloid malignancies is a multi-step process starting from pre-malignant stages. Large-scale studies on clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) identified this condition as a risk factor for developing hematologic malignancies, in particular myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). In parallel, CHIP was found to confer an enhanced thrombotic risk, in particular for cardiovascular diseases. In a similar fashion, in recent years, alongside their life-threatening features, increasing attention has been drawn toward thrombotic complications in myeloid malignancies. Thus, the purpose of this review is to gather a growing body of evidence on incidence, pathogenesis and clinical impact of thrombosis in myeloid malignancies at every step of malignant progression, from CHIP to AML.

Clinical variables associated with late-onset thrombotic and cardiovascular events, after SARS-CoV-2 infection, in a cohort of patients from the first epidemic wave: an 18-month analysis on the "Surviving-COVID" cohort from Bergamo, Italy.

Abstract
Importance Population studies have recorded an increased, unexplained risk of post-acute cardiovascular and thrombotic events, up to 1 year after acute severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. Objectives To search for clinical variables and biomarkers associated with late post-acute thrombotic and cardiovascular events after SARS-CoV-2 infection. Design Retrospective cohort study. Setting Third-level referral hospital in Bergamo (Italy). Participants Analysis of an existing database of adult patients, who received care for SARS-CoV-2 infection at our institution between 20 February and 30 September 2020, followed up on a single date ("entry date") at 3-6 months. Exposure Initial infection by SARS-CoV-2. Main outcomes and measures Primary outcome: occurrence, in the 18 months after entry date, of a composite endpoint, defined by the International Classification of Diseases-9th edition (ICD-9) codes for at least one of: cerebral/cardiac ischemia, venous/arterial thrombosis (any site), pulmonary embolism, cardiac arrhythmia, heart failure. Measures (as recorded on entry date): history of initial infection, symptoms, current medications, pulmonary function test, blood tests results, and semi-quantitative radiographic lung damage (BRIXIA score). Individual clinical data were matched to hospitalizations, voluntary vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 (according to regulations and product availability), and documented reinfections in the following 18 months, as recorded in the provincial Health Authority database. A multivariable Cox proportional hazard model (including vaccine doses as a time-dependent variable) was fitted, adjusting for potential confounders. We report associations as hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). Results Among 1,515 patients (948 men, 62.6%, median age 59; interquartile range: 50-69), we identified 84 endpoint events, occurring to 75 patients (5%): 30 arterial thromboses, 11 venous thromboses, 28 arrhythmic and 24 heart failure events. From a multivariable Cox model, we found the following significant associations with the outcome: previous occurrence of any outcome event, in the 18 months before infection (HR: 2.38; 95% CI: 1.23-4.62); BRIXIA score ≥ 3 (HR: 2.43; 95% CI: 1.30-4.55); neutrophils-to-lymphocytes ratio ≥ 3.3 (HR: 2.60; 95% CI: 1.43-4.72), and estimated glomerular filtration rate < 45 ml/min/1.73 m2 (HR: 3.84; 95% CI: 1.49-9.91). Conclusions and relevance We identified four clinical variables, associated with the occurrence of post-acute thrombotic and cardiovascular events, after SARS-CoV-2 infection. Further research is needed, to confirm these results.

Abstract
Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) are a heterogeneous group of hematologic malignancies characterized by an abnormal proliferation of cells of the myeloid lineage. Affected individuals are at increased risk for cardiovascular and thrombotic events. Myocardial infarction (MI) may be one of the earliest clinical manifestations of MPNs or may be a thrombotic complication that develops during the natural course of the disease. In the present review, we examine the epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical presentation, and management of MI in MPNs based on the available literature. Moreover, we review potential biomarkers that could mediate the MI-MPNs crosstalk, from classical biochemical tests, e.g., lactate dehydrogenase, creatine kinase and troponins, to pro-inflammatory cytokines, oxidative stress markers, and clonal hematopoiesis.
