Microplastics Linked to Increased Heart Disease Risk, Study Finds

A groundbreaking study reveals that microplastics in arteries significantly raise the likelihood of heart attacks, strokes, and death.

A landmark study has found microplastics in artery-clogging plaque, linking them to a higher risk of heart disease and death.
The study, involving 257 patients, revealed that those with microplastics in their arteries were nearly five times more likely to suffer a heart attack, stroke, or death.
Researchers used sophisticated techniques to detect microplastics and nanoplastics in arterial plaque, marking a significant breakthrough in understanding their impact on human health.
The presence of microplastics in the human body has been linked to inflammation, a major driver of cardiovascular disease.
The findings have prompted calls for further research into the effects of microplastics on human health and the environment.
