According to the Mayo Clinic, a stroke occurs when blood supply to the brain is interrupted or reduced, preventing oxygenation and causing brain cells to die.
However, it’s not just stroke doctors that have seen this trend in clotting. Mocco said he’s heard from colleagues in heart, lungs and kidney medicine who have also seen complications in coronavirus patients caused by blood clots.
Although doctors can’t confirm why the coronavirus seems to induce this, some experts have an educated guess. Mocco said research suggests the virus attaches itself to a host cell that not only exist in the respiratory tract, but also in blood vessels. This means the virus can go anywhere inside the body.
While coronavirus hotspots, such as New York, are seeing a surge in strokes, Hussain said most of the country is seeing a decline. He believes fear of contracting COVID-19 is what’s keeping people away from the emergency rooms, even in the event of an emergency.
