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 blood are linked to how well the small blood vessels of the heart work and to future heart health. If you are having a heart catheterization (a test to check the heart's blood vessels), your participation could help us understand these links.
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 adults undergoing a clinically needed heart CT scan (coronary CTA) to build a database about plaque in the heart arteries. It may help researchers better understand heart disease patterns and improve future care.
This study looks at people who had a heart attack and had a special CT scan (CT angiography) before or during the years leading up to it. Researchers will use the scan and computer analysis (AI) to better understand heart plaque and how it may relate to heart attacks.
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.
