By interpreting the pathological mechanisms, we aim to illustrate that excessive pro-inflammatory cytokine release and potential ACE2 down-regulation can promote the hypercoagulable state in severe COVID19 , and propose that the anti-inflammatory medications, as well as ACEI/ARB, can benefit severe COVID-19 patients by reducing the risk of vascular thrombotic events. ./cache/cord-252528-rgnhfcbx.txt ./txt/cord-252528-rgnhfcbx.txt
