There is mounting evidence that COVID-19 has a profound impact on the endothelium (the lining of blood vessels) which may explain the observed blood clots associated with this pandemic. Roger Seheult, MD of discusses new research from the Lancet on coagulopathies (clotting or bleeding problems) in COVID-19 and explains how reactive oxygen species (ROS) may set the stage for clotting.
Dr. Seheult also illustrates how the supplement N-acetylcysteine (NAC) may be beneficial to reduce excess ROS and prevent blood clots. Sloan Kettering is performing a clinical trial that studies N-acetylcysteine (NAC) with COVID 19 infection. (This video was recorded July 3, 2020).
