ItalyAn Italian study published in the European Heart Journal reveals that patients who suffer from acute myocardial infarction have significantly higher levels of micro and nanoplastics in their coronary blood compared to those with other heart conditions or healthy coronary arteries. The research, conducted by teams from the University of Rome 'La Sapiena', University of Verona, and the University of Campania 'Ludovico Vanvitelli', analyzed blood samples from 61 patients and found that 84% had plastic fragments in their arteries. Smoking was identified as a major risk factor, increasing the likelihood of having microplastics in the bloodstream by six times. The study highlights the alarming presence of plastics in the cardiovascular system and suggests a direct link between environmental exposure, lifestyle factors, and the accumulation of plastics in the blood.
