About a fifth of all ischemic strokes are attributed to embolization of ruptured atherosclerotic plaque from carotid arterial stenosis. But it has been difficult to predict which person with asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis is likely to progress to symptomatic carotid disease and stroke.

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.

If these clots migrate to the blood vessels of the brain, a stroke may result. This in turn can enhance the chance of plaque build-up in the blood vessels of the heart (coronary arteries). Hence the blood stagnates in some parts of the upper chambers (left atrium) and clots may form.

Plaque regression can be demonstrated by ultrasound evaluation of the carotids which are easily accessible. Maintaining normal blood pressure also reduces the risk of stroke and myocardial infarction. Of course, exercise burns out extra calories and reduces body weight, which in turn is due to a decrease in the fat deposits.

The primary endpoint consisted of a composite of all-cause mortality, MI, stroke, coronary revascularization, or hospitalization for unstable angina. The primary non-inferiority endpoint was MACCE (a composite of cardiac death, MI, ischaemic stroke, stent thrombosis, or target vessel revascularisation). vs. 6.2%) and stroke (2.9%
