title: [Signs of hypercoagulability in hyperlipemic hypertensives].
abstract: The correlation between elevated serum lipids, shortened coagulation time, and the accelerated thrombosis measured in vivo was found in experimental animals. Elevated levels of some coagulation factors were found in samples of human hyperlipoproteinemic plasma. Experimental hypertension induced significant rise of serum cholesterol and some coagulation factors also. If thrombosis is important in the genesis of atheroclerosis, these findings could indicate that elevation of plasma lipids may play a role, via the coagulation pathway, in the production of human vascular disease. These findings encouraged us to test the group of patients with rised blood pressure and to correlate their lipid and coagulation status. Statistically significant difference between hyperlipemia and normolipemic hypertonics was seen in level of factors V and VII reduced fibrinolytic activity, decreased antithrombin III, and in higher rate of hypercoagulabilic thromboelastograms.
