NCT ID NCT07291609
First seen Jan 04, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 17 times
Summary
This study looks at whether tiny plastic particles (microplastics and nanoplastics) are present in the blood of people with chronic heart disease. Researchers will collect blood samples from 120 patients during a routine heart catheter procedure and analyze the samples for plastic content. They will also compare the findings with CT scans of the heart arteries to see if there is a connection between plastic levels and plaque buildup. The goal is to understand if plastic pollution plays a role in heart disease.
