First seen Jan 04, 2026 · Last updated Apr 30, 2026 · Updated 14 times
Summary
This study looks at whether tiny plastic particles (microplastics and nanoplastics) are present in the blood of the heart's arteries in people with chronic coronary syndrome. Researchers will collect blood samples from 120 participants during a standard heart catheterization and analyze them for plastic content. They will also compare the plastic levels with images of the participants' coronary plaques to see if there is a connection. This is an observational study that does not involve any new treatment.
