Abstract

Covid-19 disease has been linked to a high risk of hyper- coagulability that can severely condition the evolution of this respiratory syndrome in the acute phase; and also due to the possible sequelae of a chronic thrombosis, as is the case of chronic pulmonary thromboembolism; or due to complications associated with anticoagulant treatment such as bleeding.
