The role of dyslipidemia and statins in venous thromboembolism

HealthData.Gov

Updated Oct 29, 2026

About this dataset

Recent studies have proposed an association between hyperlipidemia and venous thromboembolism (VTE). We review the epidemiological evidence linking dyslipidemia with VTE and examine several possible underlying mechanisms. We discuss the possible role of HMG CoA reductase inhibitors (statins) in the prevention and treatment of VTE and suggest future directions for research.
