Micro and Nanoplastics and Cardiovascular Events – Recent Study

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Detailed analysis of the excised carotid plaques were carried out with pyrolysis-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, stable isotope analysis, and electron microscopy. Primary endpoint of the study was a composite of myocardial infarction, stroke, or death from any cause in those who had micro and nanoplastics in the carotid plaque.

Link Between Clonal Hematopoiesis and Stroke in Carotid Stenosis

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

About a fifth of all ischemic strokes are attributed to embolization of ruptured atherosclerotic plaque from carotid arterial stenosis. 2024 May 7;83(18):1728-1730. 2024 May 7;83(18):1717-1727. Now there is evidence linking clonal hematopoiesis, carotid stenosis and stroke. J Am Coll Cardiol. doi: 10.1016/j.jacc.2024.03.389.

Role of ultrahigh-spatial-resolution photon-counting CT in assessment of coronary artery disease

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

There was no significant difference for noncalcified and mixed plaques, though they were much smaller in number. 2024 Feb;310(2):e231956. In in-vivo results, there was decreasing median percentage diameter stenosis with increasing spatial resolution for calcified stenoses. patients than that was assigned using standard resolution.
