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.
