What happens when microplastics and nanoplastics enter our bloodstream and encounter the arteries that supply the heart?


In this episode, Dr. Elie explores the emerging human evidence linking plastic particles with cardiovascular disease—from the landmark 2024 New England Journal of Medicine study that detected micro- and nanoplastics inside carotid artery plaques, to a 2026 European Heart Journal study finding them far more frequently in the coronary circulation of patients experiencing acute heart attacks.


We explore how a heart attack actually happens, why inflammation and the health of our arteries matter, and what scientists are beginning to investigate about the interaction between plastic particles and the cardiovascular system.


The evidence does not yet prove that microplastics cause heart attacks. But their presence in human blood, heart tissue, atherosclerotic plaque, and coronary circulation raises questions that are becoming increasingly difficult to ignore.


What happens when the environment we created becomes part of the biology we inherited?
