  Background and objectives: Lipids and lipoproteins modulate the expression and/or the function of thrombotic, fibrinolytic and rheological factors among patients with cardiovascular disease. Many studies have suggested a link between risk factors of venous thromboembolism (VTE) and dyslipidemia but results are heterogeneous. We sought to identify if dyslipidemia is a risk factor of VTE disease. Patients and methods: We have developed an hospital-based case-control study which was conducted in 32 patients with VTE and 33 age- and gender-matched healthy controls. We were proceeding to compare the lipid profile of the two groups after analysing the total cholesterol, triglycerides, high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), Lipoprotein Lp(a), Apo-A1, Apo-B and Apo-E. Patients who have cancer and whose taken statins or fibrates are excluded... View More»
