Comprehensive Study of Blood Flow Dynamics in Arteries and Strategies for COVID-19 Prevention
Ankit Yadav
Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic has underscored the need for comprehensive healthcare approaches that encompass not only the prevention of viral spread but also the management of associated health complications. This research focuses on the mathematical analysis of arterial blood flow and its implications for developing effective COVID-19 prevention strategies. This study has explored the critical role of platelets in worsening lung inflammation and forming blood clots in COVID-19 patients, leading to severe conditions like heart attacks and strokes. Platelets, beyond their clotting function, interact with the virus and trigger inflammatory responses. The study also examined how factors like hemoglobin, red blood cells, and platelet counts influence blood viscosity, which affects circulation. Plasma viscosity remains unaffected by these cellular components. To address high blood viscosity and improve blood flow, the study evaluates the combined use of Hydroxychloroquine and Doxycycline. Hydroxychloroquine lowers blood sugar and reduces blood viscosity, while Doxycycline treats respiratory infections and inflammation. Numerical analysis shows that these medications can enhance blood flow and reduce complications, offering potential benefits for managing inflammation, lung infections, and cardiovascular issues in COVID-19 patients. By understanding the dynamics of blood flow through the arteries, especially in populations vulnerable to severe COVID-19 outcomes, we can enhance public health policies and individual health practices. This paper integrates mathematical modeling, clinical insights, and preventive healthcare strategies to provide a holistic approach to managing the risks associated with COVID-19.
