Louisiana Rep.-elect Luke Letlow, who died of COVID-19 complications, was operated on for a blood clot before he succumbed to a heart attack, according to a new report. The 41-year-old Republican underwent two procedures to treat a blood clot that he developed while he battled the coronavirus...The second operation appeared to be successful on Tuesday but he died later that day from a heart attack at Ochsner LSU Health in Shreveport...

So he did not die from Covid.
medicare payments is important to the system, prophylactic treatments early on prevents them from making money
Damn.
So there is no way to dissolve blood clots caused from Covid? I find that difficult to believe with all the blood thinner meds.
If you can run 25 mph you are an Olympic caliber athlete, and if you can do it for 20 minutes at a time, you are beyond any human that ever lived. Im guilty and so are you about proof reading.. or youre full of it.. idk? Anywho covid is a killer of old, sick, the already compru6sed, and a rare few with a genetic defect.
Your understanding of thrombectomy and pharmacology is incorrect. Your statements are patently false.
I’m lying in a hospital room right now with a blood clot in my lung. I tested positive for Covid on 12/20 and the clot was discovered on 12/30 (my birthday!)
I hope and pray you recover quickly
“Antithrombolytic” therapy? As a vascular surgeon, I generally employ thrombolytic therapy such as TPA for clots. Antithrombolytic therapy would promote clots. You’re an MD??
“Overall, 20 percent of the COVID-19 patients were found to have blood clots in the veins, and among patients in the intensive care unit, that statistic increased to 31 percent. Blood clots in the vein, or deep vein thrombosis, can reach the lungs and develop into pulmonary embolism, resulting in higher risk of death.Nov 23, 2020.”
We've know that about COVID since the beginning that it can cause severe internal swelling and blood clotting (and therefore lead to heart attacks, strokes, and other serious health events). Not like this is something new.
Clots in the lungs cannot cause a heart attack. That is a false statement.
What likely happened is he was profoundly hypercoaguable. While there is no reference as to where the embolus was I suspect he had a saddle pulmonary embolus.
If you have pulmonary embolus they can be anything from
Insignificant to fatal. It is a letter of what part of the pulmonary vasculature is obstructed. In the event the thrombus is so big that it blocks where the pulmonary artery branches into the right and left pulmonary artery (saddle) then the right ventricle acutely dilates and there is no flow to the left. This is called obstructive shock. Not a heart attack
A heart attack occurs when the coronary arteries are blocked and become ischemic. I busted up pulmonary embolus cannot get in to coronary circulation
Embolic coronary ischemia is unheard of. Instead what happens Ian a thrombus forms where a cholesterol plaque ruptures.
The standard of care is either tPa thrombolysis or catheter directed tPA in the cath lab with thrombectomy. Rarely an open pulmonary artery endarterectomy can be performed but this requires immediate access to bypass circuitry snd cardiovascular surgery
This death is certainly due to CoVID
The death certificate should list cardiac arrest due to obstructive shock secondary to CoVid associated thrombosis.
To say he died or anything but Covid is simply burying a head in the sand. This is what this disease is capable of doing and it is not pretty.
“Blood thinners don’t reliably prevent clotting in people with COVID-19, and young people are dying of strokes caused by the blockages in the brain.”

Which came first?
Where are you getting that from?
Yes he certainly did die of Covid
sorry. should have put antithrombolytic in quotes but did not take the time
Defensive compound Vit. D3, Zinc, Magnesium, less than 10 cents per day and the social media sites and the MSM totally cover it up..... KILLING THOUSANDS MORE PEOPLE!
“who died of COVID-19 complications”
Total BS. Car wreck victims and people who commit suicide are even being called COVID victims.
A sub 2.5 minute mile pace for 20 minutes. Better be on a bicycle. A professional on a bike.
