Clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) is a well-studied phenomenon in hematologic malignancies. With advancements in gene sampling and analysis and the use of large cohort studies, CHIP has recently been linked to cardiovascular disease (CVD). The relationship between CHIP and CVD appears to be bidirectional, with traditional risk factors for cardiovascular disease increasing the mutation burden in CHIP, and CHIP itself effecting the incidence or prognosis of a variety of CVD. The purpose of this review is to understand the epidemiology, risk factors, and pathogenesis of CHIP in the context of various CVD conditions.

Background
The use of substances, e.g., tobacco and betel nut, are prevalent among military personnel in Taiwan, whereas some specific substances such as alcohol use are forbidden in military base. There were inconsistent findings for the incidence of hypertension with habitual substances use in diverse populations, while no studies were carried out in the military.
Methods
A total of 2419 Taiwanese military personnel, aged 18–39 years, who were not taking any antihypertensive agents and did not have a baseline systolic blood pressure (SBP) ≥130 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) ≥80 mmHg were followed for incidence of hypertension from baseline (2014) through the end of 2020. Alcohol, tobacco and betel nut use status (active vs. former/never) were self-reported by each participant at baseline. New-onset hypertension of each participant was defined by an average of two resting BP measurements in the annual health examinations (2015–2020). Multivariable Cox regression analysis with adjustments for baseline BP and other potential covariates were performed to determine the risk of incident hypertension with each substance use. Five-year absolute changes in BP level with specific substance use were compared using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA).
Results
There were 867 active smokers (35.8 %), 237 active betel nut chewers (9.8 %) and 961 active alcohol consumers (39.7 %) at baseline. During a median follow-up of 5.8 years, 911 new-onset hypertension events (37.7 %) were observed. While compared to those without any substances use, merely active holiday alcohol users had a significantly lower risk of incident hypertension [hazard ratio (HR) and 95 % confidence interval: 0.72 (0.58–0.89)]. The 5-year diastolic BP increase (mmHg) was borderline significantly lower in active alcohol users on holidays as compared to former/never alcohol users (4.02 (standard deviation =9.01) and 4.76 (9.42), p = 0.07). The risk of incident hypertension was not significant in active smokers and active betel nut users, while the 5-year BP increase level was significantly greater in active smokers than former/never smokers (5.60 (9.96) vs. 4.42 (9.22), p = 0.03).
Conclusion
Our findings suggest that military young personnel consuming alcohol only allowed on holidays had a lower incidence of new-onset hypertension. On the contrary, the 5-year BP change may increase greater with habitual smoking, though the risk of new-onset hypertension was not affected.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is an emerging technology with numerous healthcare applications. AI could prove particularly useful in the cardiac intensive care unit (CICU) where its capacity to analyze large datasets in real-time would assist clinicians in making more informed decisions. This systematic review aimed to explore current research on AI as it pertains to the CICU. A PRISMA search strategy was carried out to identify the pertinent literature on topics including vascular access, heart failure care, circulatory support, cardiogenic shock, ultrasound, and mechanical ventilation. Thirty-eight studies were included. Although AI is still in its early stages of development, this review illustrates its potential to yield numerous benefits in the CICU.

The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by SARS-CoV-2, has sparked recurring outbreaks and remains endemic, posing ongoing health risks. In addition to its immediate effects, COVID-19 has been linked to cardiovascular complications, including stroke. However, it remains unclear whether COVID-19 causally increases future stroke risk. This study used Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to explore the causal link between COVID-19 susceptibility and stroke risk. By analyzing genome-wide association study (GWAS) data, genetically determined susceptibility to COVID-19 was identified and linked to various stroke subtypes, including cardioembolic, small-vessel, and large-artery ischemic stroke. Results indicated a significant association between COVID-19 susceptibility and increased stroke risk, particularly for large-artery ischemic stroke. These findings suggest that SARS-CoV-2 infection could serve as a natural indicator of disease predisposition, revealing inherent cardiovascular vulnerabilities. This revolutionizes the way we view pathogen infections—not only as harmful threats, but also as opportunities to assess individual health risks. By analyzing how people respond to infections, we can gain valuable insights into their predisposition to other diseases later in life, offering an analytical framework for early diagnosis and prevention. This perspective—using pathogen infections as natural tests of disease predisposition—offers a transformative way to view human diseases as a continuum. Instead of merely treating infections as isolated diseases, we can exploit natural infections to assess broader population health, thus paving the way for precision medicine and personalized healthcare interventions.
