       New research chips away at COVID-19 blood clot mystery
       May 6, 2026
       "Doctors and scientists are still working to understand why
       COVID-19 can cause fatal damage to so many different organs. A
       potentially major piece of that puzzle was revealed today in
       research published in the Journal of the American Heart
       Association.
       During the COVID-19 pandemic, hospitalized patients who weren't
       sick enough to be in the intensive care unit would suffer heart
       attacks and strokes, said William T. Bain, MD, a critical care
       pulmonologist at the University of Pittsburgh and the study's
       senior author.
       The deaths distressed and confounded clinicians, explained Bain.
       These patients didn't seem to be in immediate danger.
       Occasionally, a heart attack or stroke happened in someone who
       appeared to be getting better, including those who seemed well
       enough to be sent home.
       "This often affects younger populations, sort of in patients in
       their 40s and 50s," he said."
