Understanding how and why this happens is important not just for those with diabetes, but also for those at risk.

Rosenson and colleagues utilized the Walburn-Schneck model to calculate estimated blood viscosity in 5,621 patients hospitalized with COVID-19 at the Mount Sinai Health System from Feb. 2, 2020 ...

High blood viscosity negatively affects the body's ability to quickly and efficiently get blood to small vessels, and is directly correlated with blood clots. “This study demonstrates the ...
