Death from pulmonary edema after infection with the coronavirus is due to its use of the ACE2 protein as virus receptor

1) Fragestellung

Background and Question:

The major worry that the coronavirus triggers is the high mortality rate of currently an estimated 2 percent of those affected.

  • What is the pathophysiological cause?
  • What does that tell us about dealing with this danger?

2) Methode

Methods:

literature review

3) Ergebnisse

Results:

These are the well-known puzzle pieces that are already in front of us:

  • The corona virus only uses the ACE2 receptor of the cell surface to enter the cell.
  • ACE2 is the enzyme that would have to inactivate the blood pressure-increasing AT2 (angiotensin 2).
  • All corona viruses such as MERS, SARS and CoV2019 have pulmonary edema as a feared complication.

The new finding:

  • Virus-blocked AT2 breakdown at ACE2 is the cause of pulmonary edema with shock lung.
  • Corona viruses are therefore inextricably linked to the risk of AT2 blockade.
  • That explains why this virus gets so much attention.
  • Countless, often nameless viruses, on the other hand, use harmless cell receptors, the failure of which does not reach our consciousness because of the minor consequences.

4) Folgerungen

Conclusions:

In order to avoid ARDS (acute respiratory distress syndrome) regulation of the angiotensin system is necessary.
Vitamin D offers good help here.
This is documented elsewhere (see below).

New findings presented in this video for the first time:

  • Vitamin D also works against coronaviruses via defensin and cathelicidin.
  • Vitamin D also works against the risk of coronavirus lung failure through the renin-angiotensin system.
  • The virus-typical use of the ACE2 receptor is the cause of the risk of lung failure.
  • A general supply of vitamin D to the population could stop the epidemic.

Coronavirus makes an ACE2 inhibition and this the cause for dying from respiratory syndrome.
