Letlow had Covid-19, but that is not what killed him. A hear after a procedure for it is what killed him. As far as I know, Covid does not increase chances of a heart attack.

If that's what you think you know about COVID, please stop posting about it.

Jury is still out on that. There are a lot of long and short term problems that will be found out after further studies.

RIP and condolences to his family. A lot of the same big mouths on FR yesterday saying he died from the virus.

What possible operation would you get to deal with COVID?

Covid can screw up the blood, causing clots which can cause blockages and then coronaries. My cousin recently tested positive and one of the things prescribed was 81mg aspirin to prevent clots. Letlow’s surgery MAY have been a procedure to v dissolve and remove a clot and open up an arterial passage.

One of the heart valves can cause a turbulence that creates mini blood clots....need a 24/7 heart monitor for a month to detect it.

COVID can produce blood clots.

As far as I know, Covid does not increase chances of a heart attack.

Not in all cases, but a certain percentage of COVID patients have exhibited myocardial injury to heart tissue.

“As far as I know, Covid does not increase chances of a heart attack.”

Covid causes severe clotting in some people. A blood clot can cause a heart attack.

This happened to my dad’s youngest brother years ago. He went into the hospital for a simple procedure, had a heart attack and died after the family had left to return home after being told the operation worked as planned. My uncle was supposed to be discharged the next day, but died at the age of 46.

If he was a US congressman from LA instead of a State representative, what happens to his seat since he was congressman-elect? The Gov. appoints a new state representative?

Receiving “treatment” - yeah, sure ... the Chi-commie treatment. Wanna bet his “caregivers” were Democrats?

Condolences to his family. Very sad. Antisocial personalities, try to find a useful business to get into instead of preaching Malthusian rot.

I won’t be visiting any restaurants or tourist traps, ever. I don’t go near vice businesses anyway.

COVID disrupts the interior lining of the blood vessels, which have the same ACE-2 receptors that SARS-COV-2 attacks. In disrupting the interior vessel walls, SARS-COV-2 causes the release into the bloodstream of von Willebrand factor, a protein that helps blood clot, which in turn leads to stroke or heart failure.
