Seeing this in real time at VUMC where 1 in 5 cath lab patients have CHIP. We're building care pathways but standardization across centers would help. Curious what others are doing for longitudinal follow-up. @MichaelR21 @pnatarajanmd @AlexBickMDPhD

Ever wondered how the two most common CHIP mutations affect gene expression in human PBMCs? Our recently published paper addresses this question using mitochondrial DNA lineage tracing. doi.org/10.1182/blooda…

Awesome presentation by @RomitB_MD on a new way to monitor blood pressure at home - I would anticipate this modality to have a high utilization at 🏠@NCYIForum #NCYIF @pnatarajanmd

Ever wondered where to find patients for a CHIP/cardiovascular disease clinical trial? How about in the cardiac cath lab. 🧵medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

Great to work with @DrFlashHeart on this important nuance from the UKB. Excited to see what is next! @CircAHA

Last week, I shared how we derived CHIP calls in the UK Biobank (N ~450k).

In a study out today in Circulation (@CircAHA), we use these CHIP calls to contribute to an ongoing debate regarding IL-6 signaling mediating the association between CHIP & CAD.
