Coronavirus victims are facing a new danger that may occur even after respiratory symptoms fade and infection from the virus clears .
Doctors are beginning to notice a troubling blood-clotting phenomenon , which is occurring more frequently in patients who have the virus .
These clots are also being discovered in younger coronavirus patients and can result in sudden strokes or death .
“ There ’ s something about this virus that ’ s exaggerated that to the nth degree , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pulmonary critical care and sleep medicine at the Warren Albert School of Medicine , according to Bloomberg .
“ We ’ re seeing clotting in a way in this illness that we have not seen in the past.

Clots may form and damage several types of organs in the body .
They include the heart , liver , or in patients ’ arterial catheters and filters that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ clotting that appears in the lungs is thought to be the most severe in coronavirus patients .
It can impede blood flow and impact infected patients who already have difficulty breathing due to the virus -- previously believed to be a typical respiratory disease .

Dr. Hooman Poor , a lung specialist at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York , noticed blood was not flowing well through the lungs of 14 patients on ventilators , which he determined was due to clotting .
`` I feel like all these patients have blood clots in their lungs , '' Poor said last month , according to the Reuters .
A report in the New England Journal of Medicine last week found that five people between @ @ @ @ @ @ @ had strokes , also tested positive for the coronavirus .
They were all treated for large-vessel blockages .
On April 13 , a study published by researchers in the Netherlands found that 31 percent of intensive-care unit coronavirus patients they observed had a complication associated with clotting .
The study described the findings as `` remarkably high . ''

Doctors are beginning to notice a troubling blood-clotting phenomenon, which is occurring more frequently in patients who have the virus. These clots are also being discovered in younger coronavirus patients and can result in sudden strokes or death.
“There’s something about this virus that’s exaggerated that to the nth degree,” said Mitchell Levy, chief of pulmonary critical care and sleep medicine at the Warren Albert School of Medicine, according to Bloomberg. “We’re seeing clotting in a way in this illness that we have not seen in the past.”
POSSIBLE CORONAVIRUS VACCINE ENTERS HUMAN TESTING TRIAL
He added that blood clotting is “probably the most important thing that’s emerged over the last perhaps month or two."
Clots may form and damage several types of organs in the body. They include the heart, liver, or in patients’ arterial catheters and filters that support failing kidneys.
However, blood clotting that appears in the lungs is thought to be the most severe in coronavirus patients. It can impede blood flow and impact infected patients who already have difficulty breathing due to the virus -- previously believed to be a typical respiratory disease.
Margaret Pisani, an associate professor of medicine at the Yale University School of Medicine says clots in the lungs are likely what’s causing coronavirus patients who may appear well to suddenly “fall off the ledge” and develop a blood-oxygen deficiency, the paper reported.
Doctors had previously attributed lung damage to pneumonia, but they are now looking at clotting as well.
Dr. Hooman Poor, a lung specialist at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York, noticed blood was not flowing well through the lungs of 14 patients on ventilators, which he determined was due to clotting.
CORONAVIRUS MAY IMPACT EATING DISORDER RECOVERY, EXPERT SAYS
"I feel like all these patients have blood clots in their lungs," Poor said last month, according to the Reuters.
A report in the New England Journal of Medicine last week found that five people between the age of 33 to 49 who had strokes, also tested positive for the coronavirus. They were all treated for large-vessel blockages.
On April 13, a study published by researchers in the Netherlands found that 31 percent of intensive-care unit coronavirus patients they observed had a complication associated with clotting. The study described the findings as "remarkably high."
The large arterial lung clots can also put an overwhelming strain on the heart, which may result in cardiac arrest. Clotting may also disrupt blood flow for coronavirus patients on ventilators, said Edwin van Beek, chair of clinical radiology at the University of Edinburgh’s Queen’s Medical Research Institute, according to Bloomberg.

"Each policy has major challenges," the study's authors noted.
An optimal mitigation policy noted in the study that combines home isolation of suspect cases, home quarantine of those living in the same household as suspect cases, and social distancing of the elderly and others at most risk of severe disease may help to reduce peak health care demand by two-thirds and deaths by a half.
President Trump announced on Monday a set of guidelines that he said Americans should follow to prevent the further spread of COVID-19, including that large swaths of the population isolate themselves and everyone avoid social gatherings or groups of more than 10 people.

Health experts have echoed the need for people to take precautions to help "flatten the curve" in order to provide appropriate medical care for patients.
"It's really important that we keep talking about flattening the curve," infectious disease expert Dr. Dena Grayson told "Fox and Friends First." "The whole concept here is that we want to try to limit the spread of infection so that we don't have this huge surge of patients suddenly rushing to the hospital and overwhelming our hospital system because we only have a limited number of hospital beds, of ICU beds, and of ventilators."
Fox News medical contributor Dr. Marc Siegel also stressed the need for social distancing, which includes sitting six feet away from each other, washing one's hands, and using disinfectants.
"It has to do with how contagious a virus is, and this virus is highly contagious, meaning for every person that has it: Two or two and a half more people get it," Siegal said on "Fox & Friends. "
"So if you're at a bar, drinking with your buddies -- which everybody is still doing, unfortunately, it's a free-for-all," he added. "It's going to spread from one person there to two more."
