Description: In 1926, Dr. Erik Adolf von Willebrand first described an inherited bleeding disorder that afflicted an entire family in his native Finland. Since then, there have been several different types of von Willebrand Disease (vWD) identified which are all caused by abnormalities in the quantity or function of von Willebrand Factor (vWF), both named in honour of Dr. von Willebrand's pioneering work. This lecture will provide a comprehensive history of the discovery and classification of vWD subtypes, as well as a current review of the role vWF plays in the thrombotic symptoms of a subset of COVID-19 patients.
