A landmark NEJM study revealed that many patients with carotid artery disease might have microplastics and nanoplastics (MNPs) embedded in their carotid plaque, and those patients have a massive 4.5-fold greater risk of heart attack, stroke, or death within three years. The researchers examined carotid plaque specimens from 257 patients with asymptomatic carotid artery disease, analyzing their plaque for the presence of 11 MNPs, and tracking the patients’ cardiovascular outcomes over 34 months.
