Blood and cardiovascular disease warnings on the rise

University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine People with blood types A, B or AB may be at higher risk for cardiovascular disease, Douglas Guggenheim said, possibly due to inflammation in the body that fights harmful substances.

The proteins in blood types A and B can cause blockages in veins and arteries, leading to an increased risk of blood clots and heart disease.

According to Guggenheim, this could also explain why people with blood type O have a lower risk of contracting COVID-19 than those with blood types A, B or AB blood man. Severe COVID-19 illness can cause heart problems, blood clots, and other cardiovascular problems.

However, people with blood type O have a lower risk of cardiovascular disease and blood clots, but a higher risk of bleeding or bleeding disorders, especially after childbirth.

According to another study, women with blood type O have a higher risk of postpartum hemorrhage than women with blood types A, B, or AB.

A study published in the journal Intensive Care also showed that people with type O blood may lose more blood after an injury, making the wound worse.

Another study also found that people with type AB blood had an increased risk of cognitive decline compared to people with type O blood.

Symptoms of cognitive decline include loss of concentration, memory, judgment, decision-making, and thinking.
