[PMID: 38838228 PMCID: PMC11298876 DOI: 10.1182/bloodadvances.2024013228] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2024] [Revised: 05/06/2024] [Accepted: 05/20/2024] [Indexed: 06/07/2024] Open
Abstract
ABSTRACT With advances in sequencing, individuals with clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) are increasingly being identified, making it essential to understand its prognostic implications. We conducted a systematic review of studies comparing the risk of clinical outcomes in individuals with and without CHIP. We searched MEDLINE and EMBASE and included original research reporting an outcome risk measure in individuals with CHIP, adjusted for the effect of age. From the 3305 studies screened, we included 88 studies with 45 to 470 960 participants. Most studies had a low-to-moderate risk of bias in all domains of the Quality in Prognostic Factor Studies tool. Random-effects meta-analyses were performed for outcomes reported in at least 3 studies. CHIP conferred an increased risk of all-cause mortality (hazard ratio [HR], 1.34; 95% confidence interval, 1.19-1.50), cancer mortality (HR, 1.46; 1.13-1.88), composite cardiovascular events (HR, 1.40; 1.19-1.65), coronary heart disease (HR, 1.76; 1.27-2.44), stroke (HR, 1.16; 1.05-1.28), heart failure (HR, 1.27; 1.15-1.41), hematologic malignancy (HR, 4.28; 2.29-7.98), lung cancer (HR, 1.40; 1.27-1.54), renal impairment (HR, 1.25; 1.18-1.33) and severe COVID-19 (odds ratio [OR], 1.46; 1.18-1.80). CHIP was not associated with cardiovascular mortality (HR, 1.09; 0.97-1.22), except in the subgroup analysis restricted to larger clones (HR, 1.31; 1.12-1.54). Isolated DNMT3A mutations did not increase the risk of myeloid malignancy, all-cause mortality, or renal impairment. The reasons for heterogeneity between studies included differences in definitions and measurements of CHIP and the outcomes, and populations studied. In summary, CHIP is associated with diverse clinical outcomes, with clone size, specific gene, and inherent patient characteristics important mediators of risk.

Clonal hematopoiesis is associated with cardiovascular events in patients with stable coronary artery disease. iScience 2024; 27:109472. [PMID: 38558938 PMCID: PMC10981089 DOI: 10.1016/j.isci.2024.109472] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/04/2023] [Revised: 01/23/2024] [Accepted: 02/29/2024] [Indexed: 04/04/2024] Open
Abstract
Clonal hematopoiesis (CH) is a risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, but the impact of smaller clones and the effect on inflammatory parameters is largely unknown. Using ultrasensitive single-molecule molecular inversion probe sequencing, we evaluated the association between CH and a first major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE) in patients with angiographically documented stable coronary artery disease (CAD) and no history of acute ischemic events. CH was associated with an increased rate of MACE at four years follow-up. The size of the clone predicted MACE at an optimal cut-off value of 1.07% variant allele frequency (VAF). Mutation carriers had no change in monocytes subsets or cytokine production capacity but had higher levels of circulating tissue factor, matrilysin, and proteinase-activated receptor-1. Our study identified CH driver mutations with a VAF as small as 1.07% as a residual cardiovascular risk factor and identified potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets for patients with stable CAD.

Red blood cell distribution width (RDW) is associated with unfavorable functional outcome after transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve implantation. IJC HEART & VASCULATURE 2024; 51:101383. [PMID: 38496258 PMCID: PMC10940133 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijcha.2024.101383] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/19/2023] [Revised: 02/07/2024] [Accepted: 03/06/2024] [Indexed: 03/19/2024]
Abstract
Background Red blood cell distribution width (RDW) is calculated in every blood count test and reflects variability in erythrocyte size. High levels mirror dysregulated erythrocyte homeostasis and have been associated with clonal hematopoiesis as well as higher mortality in several conditions.We aimed to determine the impact of preprocedural RDW levels on functional outcomes after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Methods In this single-center retrospective study, we analyzed 176 consecutive patients receiving TAVI between 2017 and 2021. RDW upper limit of normal was < 15 %. Patients were stratified according to preprocedural RDW as having normal or elevated values. We assessed all-cause-mortality and a composite endpoint comprising cardiovascular/ valve-related mortality and cardiovascular, valve-related and heart failure hospitalization at 1 year. Results 43 patients (24.4 %) had RDW ≥ 15 %. There were significant baseline differences between groups (Society of Thoracic Surgeons - Predicted Risk of Mortality score 3.18 %[interquartile range 1.87-5.47] vs. 6.63 %[4.12-10.54] p < 0.001; hemoglobin 13.2 g/dL[11.8-14.1] vs. 10.4 g/dL[9.8-12.2], p < 0.001, RDW-normal vs. RDW-high, respectively). Age was not distinct (80.2 years [77.5-84.1] vs 81.2[71.3-84.7], p = 0.78). 1-year-all-cause mortality was not different (7.9 % vs. 9.4 %, p = 0.79). The RDW-high group showed markedly higher NT-proBNP levels after 1 year (647 ng/ml[283-1265] vs. 1893 ng/ml[744-5109], p = 0.005), and experienced more clinical endpoints (hazard ratio 2.57[1.28-5.16] for the composite endpoint, p = 0.006). RDW remained an independent predictor of the composite endpoint when accounting for all baseline differences in multivariable regression. Conclusion Elevated preprocedural RDW identifies patients at risk for impaired functional outcome after TAVI and may represent a useful low-cost parameter to guide intensity of outpatient surveillance strategies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) has been associated with older age, inflammation and with risk of coronary artery disease (CAD). We aimed to characterize the burden of CHIP, and to explore the association between CHIP, inflammatory markers, and CAD in older persons with HIV (PWH). METHODS From the Copenhagen Comorbidity in HIV Infection (COCOMO) study, we included 190 individuals older than 55 years of age. We defined CHIP as variant allele fraction at least 2%. CAD was categorized according to the most severe coronary artery lesion on coronary computed tomography (CT) angiography as no coronary atherosclerosis; any atherosclerosis defined as at least 1% stenosis and obstructive CAD defined as at least 50% stenosis. RESULTS In the entire population (median age 66 years, 87% men), we identified a total of 62 mutations distributed among 49 (26%) participants. The three most mutated genes were DNMT3A , TET2 , and ASXL1 , accounting for 49, 25, and 16% of mutations, respectively. Age and sex were the only variables associated with CHIP. IL-1β, IL-1Ra, IL-2, IL-6, IL-10, soluble CD14, soluble CD163 and TNF-α were not associated with CHIP, and CHIP was not associated with any atherosclerosis or with obstructive CAD in adjusted analyses. CONCLUSION In older, well treated, Scandinavian PWH, more than one in four had at least one CHIP mutation. We did not find evidence of an association between CHIP and inflammatory markers or between CHIP and CAD. CHIP is an unlikely underlying mechanism to explain the association between inflammation and CAD in treated HIV disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The pathogenesis of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is multifactorial and growing evidence has indicated that hematological disorders are involved. Clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) has recently been associated with an increased risk of both hematological malignancies and cardiovascular diseases. However, the prevalence and clinical relevance of CHIP in patients with CTEPH remains unclear. METHODS Using stepwise calling on next-generation sequencing data from 499 patients with CTEPH referred to 3 centers between October 2006 and December 2021, CHIP mutations were identified. We associated CHIP with all-cause mortality in patients with CTEPH. To provide insights into potential mechanisms, the associations between CHIP and inflammatory markers were also determined. RESULTS In total, 47 (9.4%) patients with CTEPH carried at least 1 CHIP mutation at a variant allele frequency of ≥2%. The most common mutations were in DNMT3A, TET2, RUNX1, and ASXL1. During follow-up (mean, 55 months), deaths occurred in 22 (46.8%) and 104 (23.0%) patients in the CHIP and non-CHIP groups, respectively (P<0.001, log-rank test). The association of CHIP with mortality remained robust in the fully adjusted model (hazard ratio, 2.190 [95% CI, 1.257-3.816]; P=0.006). Moreover, patients with CHIP mutations showed higher circulating interleukin-1β and interleukin-6 and lower interleukin-4 and IgG galactosylation levels. CONCLUSIONS This is the first study to show that CHIP mutations occurred in 9.4% of patients with CTEPH are associated with a severe inflammatory state and confer a poorer prognosis in long-term follow-up.

Abstract
Myeloproliferative neoplasms, including polycythemia vera, essential thrombocythemia, and myelofibrosis, are characterized by somatic gene mutations in bone marrow stem cells, which trigger an inflammatory response influencing the development of associated cardiovascular complications. In recent years, the same mutations were found in individuals with cardiovascular diseases even in the absence of hematological alterations. These genetic events allow the identification of a new entity called 'clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential' (CHIP), as it was uncertain whether it could evolve toward hematological malignancies. CHIP is age-related and, remarkably, myocardial infarction, stroke, and heart failure were frequently reported in these individuals and attributed to systemic chronic inflammation driven by the genetic mutation. We reviewed the connection between clonal hematopoiesis, inflammation, and cardiovascular diseases, with a practical approach to improve clinical practice and highlight the current unmet needs in this area of knowledge.

Abstract
Recent clinical and research efforts in cardiogenic shock (CS) have largely focussed on the restoration of the low cardiac output state that is the conditio sine qua non of the clinical syndrome. This approach has failed to translate into improved outcomes, and mortality has remained static at 30-50%. There is an unmet need to better delineate the pathobiology of CS to understand the observed heterogeneity of presentation and treatment effect and to identify novel therapeutic targets. Despite data in other critical illness syndromes, specifically sepsis, the role of dysregulated inflammation and immunity is hitherto poorly described in CS. High-dimensional molecular profiling, particularly through leukocyte transcriptomics, may afford opportunity to better characterise subgroups of patients with shared mechanisms of immune dysregulation. In this state-of-the-art review, we outline the rationale for considering molecular subtypes of CS. We describe how high-dimensional molecular technologies can be used to identify these subtypes, and whether they share biological features with sepsis and other critical illness states. Finally, we propose how the identification of molecular subtypes of patients may enrich future clinical trial design and identification of novel therapies for CS.

RECENT FINDINGS Advances in cancer treatment have improved long-term survival rates, but CVD has emerged as a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in cancer patients. The interplay between cancer itself, treatment methods, homeostatic changes, and lifestyle modifications contributes to this comorbidity. Recent research in the field of cardio-oncology has revealed common genetic mutations, risk factors, and metabolic features associated with the co-occurrence of cancer and CVD. This article provides a comprehensive review of the latest research in cardio-oncology, including common genetic mutations, risk factors, and metabolic features, and explores the interactions between cancer treatment and CVD drugs, proposing novel approaches for the management of cancer and CVD.

Clonal Hematopoiesis of Indeterminate Potential Predicts Adverse Outcomes in Patients With Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease. J Am Coll Cardiol 2023; 81:1996-2009. [PMID: 37197843 DOI: 10.1016/j.jacc.2023.03.401] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 21.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2022] [Revised: 03/16/2023] [Accepted: 03/20/2023] [Indexed: 05/19/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP)-the age-related clonal expansion of blood stem cells with leukemia-associated mutations-is a novel cardiovascular risk factor. Whether CHIP remains prognostic in individuals with established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is less clear. OBJECTIVES This study tested whether CHIP predicts adverse outcomes in individuals with established ASCVD. METHODS Individuals aged 40 to 70 years from the UK Biobank with established ASCVD and available whole-exome sequences were analyzed. The primary outcome was a composite of ASCVD events and all-cause mortality. Associations of any CHIP (variant allele fraction ≥2%), large CHIP clones (variant allele fraction ≥10%), and the most commonly mutated driver genes (DNMT3A, TET2, ASXL1, JAK2, PPM1D/TP53 [DNA damage repair genes], and SF3B1/SRSF2/U2AF1 [spliceosome genes]) with incident outcomes were compared using unadjusted and multivariable-adjusted Cox regression. RESULTS Of 13,129 individuals (median age: 63 years) included, 665 (5.1%) had CHIP. Over a median follow-up of 10.8 years, any CHIP and large CHIP at baseline were associated with adjusted HRs of 1.23 (95% CI: 1.10-1.38; P < 0.001) and 1.34 (95% CI: 1.17-1.53; P < 0.001), respectively, for the primary outcome. TET2 and spliceosome CHIP, especially large clones, were most strongly associated with adverse outcomes (large TET2 CHIP: HR: 1.89; 95% CI: 1.40-2.55; P <0.001; large spliceosome CHIP: HR: 3.02; 95% CI: 1.95-4.70; P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS CHIP is independently associated with adverse outcomes in individuals with established ASCVD, with especially high risks observed in TET2 and SF3B1/SRSF2/U2AF1 CHIP.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Clonal hematopoiesis (CH) refers to the expansion of hematopoietic stem cell clones and their cellular progeny due to somatic mutations, mosaic chromosomal alterations (mCAs), or copy number variants which naturally accumulate with age. CH has been linked to increased risk of blood cancers, but CH has also been linked to adverse cardiovascular outcomes. RECENT FINDINGS A combination of clinical outcome studies and mouse models have offered strong evidence that CH mutations either correlate with or cause atherosclerosis, diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease, heart failure, pulmonary hypertension, aortic aneurysm, myocardial infarction, stroke, aortic stenosis, poor outcomes following transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) or orthotopic heart transplant, death or need of renal replacement therapy secondary to cardiogenic shock, death from cardiovascular causes at large, and enhance anthracycline cardiac toxicity. Mechanistically, some adverse outcomes are caused by macrophage secretion of IL-1β and IL-6, neutrophil invasion of injured myocardium, and T-cell skewing towards inflammatory phenotypes. CH mutations lead to harmful inflammation and arterial wall invasion by bone marrow-derived cells resulting in poor cardiovascular health and outcomes. Blockade of IL-1β or JAK2 signaling are potential avenues for preventing CH-caused cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.

Abstract
Each week, I record audio summaries for every paper in JACC, as well as an issue summary. This process has become a true labor of love due to the time they require, but I am motivated by the sheer number of listeners (16 million plus), and it has allowed me to familiarize myself with every paper that we publish. Thus, I have selected the top 100 papers (both Original Investigations and Review Articles) from distinct specialties each year. In addition to my personal choices, I have included papers that have been the most accessed or downloaded on our websites, as well as those selected by the JACC Editorial Board members. In order to present the full breadth of this important research in a consumable fashion, we will present these abstracts in this issue of JACC, as well as their Central Illustrations and podcasts. The highlights comprise the following sections: Basic & Translational Research, Cardiac Failure & Myocarditis, Cardiomyopathies & Genetics, Cardio-Oncology, Congenital Heart Disease, Coronary Disease & Interventions, Coronavirus, Hypertension, Imaging, Metabolic & Lipid Disorders, Neurovascular Disease & Dementia, Promoting Health & Prevention, Rhythm Disorders & Thromboembolism, and Valvular Heart Disease.1-100.

Clonal Hematopoiesis Mutations Are Present in Atherosclerotic Lesions in Peripheral Artery Disease. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24043962.

Abstract
Clonal hematopoiesis (CH)-associated mutations increase the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases. However, it is unclear whether the mutations detected in circulating blood cells can also be detected in tissues associated with atherosclerosis, where they could affect physiology locally. To address this, the presence of CH mutations in peripheral blood, atherosclerotic lesions and associated tissues was assessed in a pilot study of 31 consecutive patients with peripheral vascular disease (PAD) who underwent open surgical procedures. Next-generation sequencing was used to screen the most commonly mutated loci (DNMT3A, TET2, ASXL1 and JAK2). Twenty CH mutations were detected in peripheral blood of 14 (45%) patients, 5 of whom had more than one mutation. TET2 (11 mutations, 55%) and DNMT3A (8 mutations, 40%) were the most frequently affected genes. Altogether, 88% of the mutations detectable in peripheral blood were also present in the atherosclerotic lesions. Twelve patients also had mutations in perivascular fat or subcutaneous tissue. The presence of CH mutations in PAD-associated tissues as well as in blood suggests that CH mutations may make a previously unknown contribution to PAD disease biology.

Abstract
Chronologic age is the dominant risk factor for coronary artery disease but the features of aging promoting coronary artery disease are poorly understood. Advances in human genetics and population-based genetic profiling of blood cells have uncovered the surprising role of age-related subclinical leukemogenic mutations in blood cells, termed "clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential," in coronary artery disease. Such mutations typically occur in DNMT3A, TET2, ASXL1, and JAK2. Murine and human studies prioritize the role of key inflammatory pathways linking clonal hematopoiesis with coronary artery disease. Increasingly larger, longitudinal, multiomics analyses are enabling further dissection into mechanistic insights. These observations expand the genetic architecture of coronary artery disease, now linking hallmark features of hematologic neoplasia with a much more common cardiovascular condition. Implications of these studies include the prospect of novel precision medicine paradigms for coronary artery disease.

Abstract
Cardiovascular and oncological diseases represent the global major causes of death. For both, a novel and far-reaching risk factor has been identified: clonal hematopoiesis (CH). CH is defined as clonal expansion of peripheral blood cells on the basis of somatic mutations, without overt hematological malignancy. The most commonly affected genes are TET2, DNMT3A, ASXL1 and JAK2. By the age of 70, at least 20-50% of all individuals carry a CH clone, conveying a striking clinical impact by increasing all-cause mortality by 40%. This is due predominantly to a nearly two-fold increase of cardiovascular risk, but also to an elevated risk of malignant transformation. Individuals with CH show not only increased risk for, but also worse outcomes after arteriosclerotic events, such as stroke or myocardial infarction, decompensated heart failure and cardiogenic shock. Elevated cytokine levels, dysfunctional macrophage activity and activation of the inflammasome suggest that a vicious cycle of chronic inflammation and clonal expansion represents the major functional link. Despite the apparently high impact of this entity, awareness, functional understanding and especially clinical implications still require further research. This review provides an overview of the current knowledge of CH and its relation to cardiovascular and hematological diseases. It focuses on the basic functional mechanisms in the interplay between atherosclerosis, inflammation and CH, identifies issues for further research and considers potential clinical implications.
