Aging has long been recognized as a key risk fac-tor for many pathologies, including cardiovascular disease (CVD). Despite the increased incidence of many other comorbidities with advanced age, age still remains an independent and significant risk factor for CVD after adjustment for these conventional risk factors. 1 Recently, clonal hematopoiesis (CH), an age-related phenomenon, was uncovered as a possible mechanism for this additive risk. In this process, hematopoietic stem or progenitor cells incur somatic mutations as a consequence of aging, irradiation, or other intrinsic/extrinsic stresses. When these mutations occur in particular genes, referred to as driver genes, they can confer a selective growth advantage to the cell, allowing them to outcompete neighboring cells and clonally expand to account for a greater proportion of the population within the bone marrow. Commonly mutated driver genes that give rise to CH include DNMT3A, TET2 (ten-eleven translocation 2), JAK2, ASXL1, PPM1D, and TP53. 2Mutations in these driver genes are also maintained within all progeny leukocytes, which can affect the cell’s biology and frequently result in a more proinflammatory phenotype. Given the high turnover rate of hematopoietic cells, with recent estimates suggesting that nearly 2.6× 1011 cells are generated per day, 3 it is unsurprising that detectable levels of CH become nearly ubiquitous with advanced age. 4 Importantly, the additive risk of CH in CVD outcomes is similar to, if not greater than, the individual risks estimated for each of the conventional CVD risk factors. 5
