The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) awarded a $753,813 Project Grant (CFDA 93.837 - Cardiovascular Diseases Research) to Yale University to conduct research on predicting cardiovascular outcomes through machine learning analysis of cardiac MRI and genomics data. The research aims to develop an innovative cardiovascular risk assessment tool that can accurately identify individuals with clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) and predict their risk of developing heart failure and other cardiovascular diseases. This will involve using convolutional neural networks to analyze MRI data and integrate it with genomic signatures to reveal the mechanisms behind CHIP's contribution to cardiomyopathy. A sub-award was made to Weill Medical College of Cornell University to further this collaborative research effort focused on elucidating the functional implications of CHIP in the context of cardiovascular diseases. The project period runs from September 2024 to August 2025.
