Microplastics in heart artery patients
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks for tiny plastic particles in the blood of people with chronic heart artery disease. You will have a standard CT scan and an invasive angiogram anyway, and researchers will check your blood samples for microplastics.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have known or suspected chronic coronary syndrome (a long-term condition of the heart arteries) and are scheduled for a coronary CT scan.
- Your doctor has recommended an invasive coronary angiogram (a catheter test to look at heart arteries).
- You can understand and give written consent to join the study.

This study looks at whether tiny plastic particles in the environment affect the small blood vessels of the heart and future heart health. If you are scheduled for a heart catheterization to check your arteries, you may be able to join.
This trial looks for tiny plastic particles (microplastics and nanoplastics) in blood clots from people having a severe heart attack (STEMI) who need a procedure to open a blocked artery. It may help us understand if these particles are linked to heart attacks.
This study collects information from patients having a heart CT scan (coronary CTA) to better understand plaque buildup in the arteries. By joining, you help doctors learn more about preventing heart attacks and improving heart health.
This study uses a special CT scan to look at the inside of your heart arteries and find any high-risk fatty deposits (plaque) that might cause problems later. It aims to see if this scan can predict future heart events, so you and your doctor can make better treatment choices.
This study looks at the tiny blood vessels in your heart (the microcirculation) that can cause chest pain even when the main arteries are open. It aims to better understand and treat this type of chest pain, called chronic coronary syndrome.
This study is testing whether a new blood test can detect the amount of plaque buildup in your heart arteries compared to what a CT scan shows. It may help people with known or suspected coronary artery disease get a simpler, faster way to check their heart health.
