# Clonal Hematopoiesis and Risk of Incident Pericarditis and Myocarditis in 2 US Biobank Cohorts

## TL;DR

This study investigates how clonal hematopoiesis may be linked to heart inflammation risks in a large US population.

## Contribution

The study is the first to examine the link between clonal hematopoiesis and pericarditis/myocarditis in biobank cohorts.

## Key findings

- Clonal hematopoiesis was associated with increased risk of pericarditis and myocarditis.
- Findings were consistent across two large US biobank populations.

## Abstract

This cohort study explores the association between clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential and risk of incident pericarditis and myocarditis among participants in 2 large US biobanks.
