Background: The human bioaccumulation of micro- and nano-plastics (MNPs) is increasingly being recognised in the aetiology and pathophysiology of human disease. Objective: This systematic scoping review aims to provide a comprehensive investigation of studies examining the impacts of MNPs on the human cardiovascular system. Methods: Five databases (PubMed, SCOPUS, CINAHL, Web of Science and EMBASE) were systematically searched.
