Presentation Date: 
January 11, 2024

> Four years ago, in early 2020, we all became aware of a new pandemic, COVID-19.

> It quickly became apparent that in some patients the virus was associated with a severe coagulopathy, resulting in significant morbidity and mortality.

> Emerging evidence has indicated that coagulation changes play a major role in the pathophysiology of COVID, particularly Long-COVID, the persistent symptoms following infection.
