Hyperlipidaemia and venous thromboembolism in patients lacking thrombophilic risk factors

To ascertain the potential contribution of serum lipids to the development of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a case–control study was conducted in 143 DVT patients lacking thrombophilic risk factors and in 194 age‐ and sex‐matched controls.
