Microplastics Found in Heart Blood | Health and Fitness News
Description
New research reveals microplastics may be lurking in heart arteries—and could be linked to deadly heart attacks. Scientists found more plastic particles in the blood of STEMI patients, hinting at a possible inflammatory pathway to plaque rupture. While the study can’t prove causation, it adds to growing evidence that plastics accumulate in arteries. Contamination concerns were addressed, but experts caution that smoking and air pollution may also help microplastics enter the bloodstream. Don’t panic—just keep up proven heart-healthy habits like quitting smoking and reducing pollution exposure.
