The human body has something like 60 trillion blood vessels. When circulation becomes insufficient, it slows or blocks blood flow.
The body’s cells thus do not receive sufficient nutrients and the oxygen they need. Here’s how to intervene smoothly.

Blood clots: a dangerous mystery of COVID-19
In addition to respiratory problems, blood clots pose a serious risk for COVID-19 patients. Blood clots can cause heart attacks or strokes in patients, strange forms of skin rash on the skin, or even wounds that look like chilblains on the fingers and toes.
Blocked carotid arteries: when to intervene?
Obstruction of the carotid arteries (they carry blood and oxygen to the brain) can be treated with medication or by resorting to surgery. Tips for “cleaning” the vessels and preventing brain stroke.
Atherosclerotic disease is the main cause of stenosis formation at the carotid arteries, important arteries that carry blood to the brain. These are plaques that can cause symptoms mostly due to the detachment of small fragments (emboli) that, following blood flow, reach the brain and cause damage(cerebral ischemia). They range from short-lived events to full-blown strokes: between 10 and 20 percent of the latter are due to the presence of carotid stenosis.
