The role of dyslipidemia and statins in venous thromboembolism

Published by National Institutes of Health | U.S. Department of Health & Human Services | Catalog Last Checked: July 31, 2026 at 09:50 PM | Dataset Last Updated: September 06, 2025
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.
