Cardiologist, arrhythmologist Tangiz Gagloshvili, who leads the cardiologist's blog in a telegram, spoke about the causes of a blood clot at such an early age.
“Prerequisites in young people – especially active, without excess weight, obesity – are at least for thromboembolism. Because the main risk factors are obesity, a sedentary lifestyle, varicose veins, and so on. But in the last two years, I have very often encountered such situations in our department: young people with thromboembolism without concomitant diseases and cardiovascular pathologies after a coronavirus infection. Very often there were such situations. It is difficult to say why [Alexander Kozlov]developed a blood clot. If he was not diagnosed with some kind of hereditary pathology, then it all arose very suddenly."
