    Microplastics and nanoplastics were detectable in the excised plaque of 58% of the patients 😨

    The presence of #microplastics or #nanoplastics in #carotid #artery plaque was associated with a subsequent risk of nonfatal myocardial #infarction, nonfatal #stroke, or #death from any cause that was 2.1 times that in patients whose plaques did not contain microplastics or nanoplastics.

    Patients with microplastics or nanoplastics in their plaque tissue also had elevated expression of circulating inflammatory markers

  3. A common cause of #myocardial #infarction and #stroke is the rupture of #atherosclerotic plaques. The exact location of plaque ruptures has previously been unknown, but now researchers at Lund University have mapped this.
