Summary

This study looked at 1029 people who had a heart attack and quit smoking. Researchers checked if a common, often harmless blood condition called CHIP (clonal hematopoiesis) makes heart problems more likely even after quitting. The goal was to understand why some former smokers still face high heart risks.
