Using patient-protected data of hospitalized COVID-19 patients, researchers with The Medical College of Wisconsin found people with high cholesterol levels are 2.3 times more likely to die from COVID.
“COVID-19 really pulled our attention, because the blood clots can happen, not only as heart attack or stroke, but also as very small blood clots and organ damages," lead researcher Dr. Ze. Zheng explains.
“The loss of smell may also be caused by small clots that develop in the brain as well,” Dr. Zheng said. In the past year, scientists believe they have discovered why. S protein called tPA stops fat in your blood from building up and cause dangerous blood clots. The COVID-19 virus is stopping this protein from working.Research assistant Maya Rodriguez analyzed the COVID-19 mortality rate based on race alone. She found Asian and Non-White Hispanics were about four times more likely to die of COVID overall, compared to hospitalized white patients.
