SARS-CoV-2 has been circulating in population worldwide for the past year and a half, and thus a vast amount of scientific literature has been produced in order to study the biology of the virus and the pathophysiology of COVID-19, as well as to determine the best way to prevent infection, treat the patients and eliminate the virus. SARS-CoV-2 binding to the ACE2 receptor is the key initiator of COVID-19. The ability of SARS-CoV-2 to infect various types of cells requires special attention to be given to the cardiovascular system, as it is commonly affected.

- Rheological abnormalities in patients with peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD) may influence restenosis after femoropopliteal percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA).
- In a study of 114 patients, higher baseline plasma viscosity and lower platelet count were linked to a greater risk of restenosis within 12 months post-procedure.
- Key factors identified as contributing to restenosis included increased plasma viscosity, low platelet count, longer lesion length, and the absence of hypertension.
