Plastic particle exposure and heart artery function study
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older.
- You are scheduled for a heart catheterization to check blood flow in your heart arteries.
- You can sign a consent form agreeing to be in the study.
- You have not had any previous heart procedures or treatments.
- You do not have active inflammation, connective tissue disease, or a history of cancer.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

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.
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 trial tests a special wireless pressure catheter to see how well the tiny blood vessels in the heart are working. It may help people who have chest pain but don't have major blockages in their main heart arteries.
This trial is testing a new way to diagnose problems in the small blood vessels of the heart that can cause chest pain even when the main arteries look clear. The test uses a special technique to measure how well these small vessels work, which could help find the cause of your symptoms.
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 tests a new way to diagnose small blood vessel disease in the heart using an MRI scan during a stress test. It is for people who are already participating in a larger heart imaging study and are scheduled for a catheter procedure.
