Salvatore Spagnolo, a Calabrian cardiac surgeon with specific expertise in the treatment of massive pulmonary embolism has supported the idea that home treatment with Aspirin, Heparin and Cortisone may reduce the aggressiveness of Covid-19, blocking some of its most deadly effects. The doctor made a real appeal to the health authorities to inform the population about this possibility.
"Treating the virus at an early stage - says the doctor - would cost less and improve results. "Unfortunately, doctors only prescribe medication when patients come to them with the disease at an advanced stage."
Spagnolo says that when he asked for this March, this way of treating the disease of the century failed him. The doctor initially said that his theory was rejected by politicians and doctors and said that one was a stupidity.
"Heparin is key to the use of treatment for massive pulmonary embolism. And this when the patient is in the advanced stage, emphasizes the Calabrian doctor.
"Last March," said Spagnolo, who works as a cardiac surgeon at Iclas di Rapallo, "I hypothesized that the cause of death in Covid 19 pathology was not only interstitial pneumonia but also diffuse pulmonary embolism, and I proposed the use of heparin." To substantiate my hypothesis, I published an article in the Journal of Cardiology Research entitled: Covid-19 as a cause of diffuse pneumonia and diffuse pulmonary embolism. Early anticoagulant treatment to prevent thrombus formation. This hypothesis - he continues - was not taken into account. and, only in late April, autopsy studies confirmed the presence of thrombi in the lungs of patients who died from Covid-19 and heparin therapy was introduced into intensive care patients, receiving clinical improvements.
Recently Prof. Nicola Magrini, General Manager of Aifa, the Italian Drug Agency, has stated that heparin is a pillar in the treatment of Covid-19. However, currently, this medicine is used only in hospitalized patients with signs of pneumonia ", ie not in those who are treated at home.
