About this trial

This study is part of the Rico Macro-Project, a multidisciplinary research program promoted by FROM in collaboration with the ASST-PG23 and ATS Bergamo, aiming to investigate the role of clonal hematopoiesis on inflammation, studying in depth the mechanisms underlying the inflammatory process to determine their correlation with some important pathologies in different clinical fields (Hematology, Cardiology, Neurology, Pneumology, Gastroenterology, and Diabetology, etc.). In this context, the prospective observational study RICO-HF is developed.

The RICO HF is the first project focused on CHIP and inflammation in the area of Cardiology, specifically in HF.
