title: Hyperlipidaemia and reduced fibrinolytic activity associated with thromboembolic complications in a family.
abstract: Although not significantly correlated,  the occurrence of reduced fibrinolytic activity and capacity in hyperlipidaemics has often been described. Hyperlipidaemia and reduced fibrinolysis might well enhance the possibility of thromboembolism. Such a coincidence of risk factors has probably caused thrombotic disease in a family, as described in this case report and family investigation.
