Asociación entre enfermedad tromboembólica venosa y dislipidemia / Association between venous thrombosis and dyslipidemia

Fundamento y objetivo: La trombosis venosa y la trombosis arterial, a pesar de haber sido consideradas durante años como 2 entidades distintas, comparten ciertos factores de riesgo. La dislipidemia es una condición clínica con una prevalencia relativamente elevada en la población, que se ha asociado a un incremento del riesgo trombótico. Los lípidos y lipoproteínas modulan la expresión y/o función de factores trombóticos, fibrinolíticos y reológicos. Pacientes y método: Se ha desarrollado un estudio descriptivo, retrospectivo, comparativo y transversal en el que se ha incluido un grupo de 313 pacientes con enfermedad tromboembólica venosa (ETEV). Se recogieron los datos de filiación básica, factores de riesgo cardiovascular clásicos y complicaciones trombóticas. En todos los pacientes se estudió el perfil lipídico: colesterol total, colesterol unido a high density lipoproteins (HDL, «lipoproteínas de alta densidad»), colesterol unido a low density lipoproteins (LDL, «lipoproteínas de baja densidad») y triglicéridos. Resultados: La dislipidemia es un factor de riesgo para la ETEV, con una odds ratio (OR) de 3,87 (intervalo de confianza del 95% [IC 95%] 2,72-5,56; p < 0,0001). El 31% (n = 97) de los pacientes sufrió un episodio recurrente y el 23% (n = 72) desarrolló síndrome postrombótico. Los valores de colesterol HDL < 35 mg/dl y los de colesterol LDL > 180 mg/dl resultaron ser factores de riesgo para el desarrollo de trombosis recurrente, con una OR de 3,12 (IC 95% 1,35-7,74; p = 0,008) y de 2,35 (IC 95% 1,24-4,45; p = 0,008), respectivamente, y síndrome postrombótico: OR 3,44 (IC 95% 1,43-8,83; p = 0,005) y OR 2,35 (IC 95% 1,24-4,45; p = 0,008). Conclusiones: Existe una asociación entre la dislipidemia y la ETEV, siendo el riesgo de trombosis casi 4 veces mayor en individuos con esta enfermedad. Las alteraciones del perfil lipídico también están relacionadas con una mayor prevalencia de recurrencia y síndrome postrombótico (AU)

Background and objective: Venous and arterial thrombosis, despite being historically considered as distinct conditions, share certain risk factors. Dyslipidemia is a clinical condition with a relatively high prevalence in the population and has been associated with an increased thrombotic risk. Lipids and lipoproteins modulate the expression and/or function of thrombotic, fibrinolytic and rheological factors. Patients and method: We have developed a descriptive, retrospective, comparative, cross-sectional study including a group of 313 patients with venous thromboembolism (VTE). We collected basic demographic data, cardiovascular risk factors and thrombotic complications. All patients were subjected to a lipid profile study with determination of total cholesterol, high density lipoprotein cholesterol (cHDL), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (cLDL) and triglycerides. Results: The multivariable analysis showed that dyslipidemia was a risk factor for VTE (odds ratio [OR] 3.87, 95% confidence interval [95% CI] 2.72-5.56; P < .0001). Of a total of 313 patients included in the study, 31% (n = 97) had a recurrent thrombotic event and 23% (n = 72) developed post-thrombotic syndrome. cHDL levels below 35 mg/dl and cLDL levels higher than 180 mg/dl represented risk factors for the development of recurrent thrombosis, OR 3.12 (95% CI 1.35-7.74; P = .008) and OR 2.35 (95% CI Background and objective: Venous and arterial thrombosis, despite being historically considered as distinct conditions, share certain risk factors.

Conclusions: Our study confirmed the association between dyslipidemia and VTE and showed a risk of thrombosis nearly 4 times higher in individuals with this disease. In addition, alterations in the lipid profile were also related to a higher prevalence of thrombotic complications, recurrence and postthrombotic syndrome (AU)
