Faced with an increased risk of blood clots, patients with the coronavirus may benefit from blood thinning medications.
, researchers at Mount Sinai Health System analyzed the health records of 2,773 COVID-19 patients.
"Using anticoagulants should be considered when patients get admitted to the ER and have tested positive for COVID-19 to possibly improve outcomes," Dr. Valentin Fuster, the study's author and director of Mount Sinai Heart, wrote in a press release. However, Fuster added doctors should also carefully consider whether patients may have an increased risk for bleeding.
Cassiere agreed."This study doesn't help us figure that out, but it is helpful because we've been anticoagulating these patients anyway based on no data."Warnell Vega, 33, arrived at the Mount Sinai Morningside's emergency room in New York City last month with a blood clot in his lungs."He was really in dire straits," said Vega's physician, Dr. John Puskas, the hospital's chair of cardiovascular surgery.
