In a landmark study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, researchers examined arterial plaques from 257 patients.
They found that 58.4% of these patients had microplastics embedded directly inside their arterial plaque. The consequences were massive.
Those with plastic in their arteries had a 350% higher risk of cardiovascular death, stroke, or heart attack.
The pathology suggests that jagged plastic particles irritate immune cells (macrophages) inside the artery, creating a "hostile" inflammatory environment that makes plaque more likely to rupture.

P.S. I dad acquire an actual heart for demonstration purposes… although I thought I’d get in trouble for stealing a human heart from the lab… so we have a cow heart.

Microplastics increase your risk of heart attack and death by 350%. (Wait for it...)
