Coronavirus not respiratory disease but vascular illness, claims UC San Diego study

New research has shed light on some unknown facts about COVID-19 virus. According to research, which was conducted by a team of experts at University of California-San Diego, it was found that COVID-19 is not a lung-related disease but a vascular illness. researchers found that people affected by COVID-19 showed complications like blood clots and COVID feet, which were not typical symptoms of any respiratory disease. study published in journal Circulation Research revealed that COVID-19 virus directly affects circulatory or vascular system in body.

COVID-19 is not a respiratory illness but a vascular disease

Researchers have claimed that COVID-19 virus is not a respiratory illness but a vascular one, as  spike in S protein in body directly affects  receptor ACE2, which causes damage to mitochondria that generate energy of cells, furr causing damage or breakdown of endolium, which is a thin membrane that provides a covering over heart and blood vessels.

Notably, early research of COVID virus revealed that presence of S protein is replicated by all of vaccines available in  market. To learn more about COVID-19 virus and its connection with respiratory illness, researchers created a pseudovirus that only h S protein, and rest of bacteria was not included. Later, it was found that S protein was enough by itself to cause vascular diseases inside body. It was found that effects on respiratory system are due to inflammation of vascular tissue in lungs.

Researcher's observation

researchers observed that COVID-19 virus, which is widely considered a respiratory disease, is actually a vascular disease. virus, after entering body, affects circulatory system. According to co-author, Uri Manor, "COVID-19 is not a respiratory disease, but it’s a vascular disease". He furr said those patients who are severely affected by COVID-19 suffer strokes, while some suffer issues in or parts of body. After studying all symptoms, one thing that was common among all patients was that y all h "vascular underpinnings."
