However, the proteomic signatures linked to CHIP driver mutations and their prognostic implications in HFpEF remain poorly defined. We aimed to identify plasma protein signatures associated with CHIP driver mutations and to develop and externally validate a CHIP-proteomic risk score (CHIP-ProtRS) for predicting clinical outcomes in HFpEF.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>METHODS:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The derivation cohort consisted of 118 TOPCAT (Treatment of Preserved Cardiac Function Heart Failure With an Aldosterone Antagonist) participants with available CHIP sequencing and proteomic profiling using the SomaScan platform. Associations between CHIP mutations and circulating proteins were assessed using gene-specific linear regression adjusted for age, with correction for multiple comparisons. Significant proteins were used to derive gene-specific proteomic classifiers using nested cross-validated least absolute shrinkage and selection operator logistic regression. A composite CHIP-ProtRS was generated using least absolute shrinkage and selection operator Cox regression and validated in a composite of 3 independent HFpEF cohorts (n=654). The primary end point was a composite of death and HF hospitalization.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>RESULTS:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      In TOPCAT, 30.5% of tested participants carried \u22651 CHIP mutation.
