Impact of Plastic Debris in Carotid Plaques on Cardiovascular Events
Plastic micro and nanoparticles found in carotid plaques were linked to a higher risk of cardiovascular events. A study on 257 patients undergoing endarterectomy revealed that plaques with plastic debris had elevated levels of inflammatory markers.
