Microplastics at heart of the problem
Summary
Researchers found that patients with carotid artery plaque containing microplastics and nanoplastics had significantly higher rates of cardiovascular events and mortality compared to patients whose plaque did not contain these particles, providing direct clinical evidence linking microplastic accumulation in arterial tissue to increased cardiovascular risk.
Patients with carotid artery plaque that contain microplastics and nanoplastics were found to be at higher risk of cardiovascular events and mortality than those in whom the particles were not detected.
