Neurologist Vladimir Belash said that the second brain hemorrhage suffered by Olympic figure skating champion Roman Kostomarov may have been caused by increased blood clotting caused by sepsis.
“Clogging of blood vessels in the brain can be triggered by sepsis, a severe response to inflammation and infectious processes. It is accompanied by a number of syndromes, including increased blood clotting.
Due to this, blood clots are formed, they can clog various vessels, including the vessels of the nervous system, which leads to paralysis, ”Vechernyaya Moskva quotes the doctor.
It became clear on January 10 that the athlete was taken to the hospital. It was stated that he was taken to the intensive care unit due to pneumonia and was dependent on artificial lung ventilation, and his condition was reported to be extremely serious.
