In a study published in the journal Nature Medicine, a team of researchers from the National Center for Cardiovascular Research (CNIC) proposes a new cardiovascular risk factor to add to those already known. It is clonal hematopoiesis, a phenomenon caused by acquired mutations in blood stem cells. Furthermore, in a separate study published in the European Heart Journal, they suggest that the drug colchicine could serve to reduce its effects.
