Coronavirus Pandemic Update 61: Blood Clots & Strokes in COVID-19; ACE-2 Receptor; Oxidative Stress

COVID-19 Update 61 with critical care specialist Roger Seheult, MD of https://www.medcram.com/?utm_source=Youtube&utm_medium=Video&utm_campaign=Video+Link+Clicks&utm_term=Coronavirus+Pandemic+Update+61%3A+Blood+Clots+%26+Strokes+in+COVID-19%3B+ACE-2+Receptor%3B+Oxidative+Stress&utm_content=22Bn8jsGI54
Thrombosis (blood clots), strokes, and myocardial infarctions are mysterious complications for some patients with COVID-19. Dr. Seheult discusses a recent case study involving a 72-year-old with elevated d-dimer and plasma Von Willebrand factor, and goes on to illustrate a hypothesis for how downregulation of ACE-2 may result in oxidative stress. This process may put patients with underlying elevated levels of oxidative stress (cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, obesity, etc.) at the greatest risk for severe COVID-19 infection.
