Abstract

Current management guidelines for COVID-19 reflect the assumption that critically ill patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 develop acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). However, emerging data and clinical reports increasingly suggest an alternative view that severe COVID-19 reflects a confluence of vascular dysfunction, thrombosis, and dysregulated inflammation.

Keywords: COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2, vascular dysfunction, thrombosis, inflammation, dysregulated inflammation
