The endothelium, a vital lining in blood vessels, is crucial for blood flow and clot prevention. COVID-19 can damage this layer, leading to inflammation, clots, and symptoms associated with long COVID, such as fatigue and brain fog. Tests like EndoPAT and capillaroscopy can assess endothelial health and function.
