title: [Platelet activation and hypercholesterolemia in the pathogenesis of deep vein thrombosis].
abstract: Currently it is accepted that deep vein thrombosis is a multifactorial event in which the presence of activated platelets and also plasmatic lipids seems to play a pivotal role that it is not well established in the scientific bibliography. Due to the non consensus state about these topics between the different groups working in these aspects, the topic involving deep vein thrombosis-platelets-lipids, and also their interactions, still is an interesting area of investigation, in which it is necessary to carry out studies with the aim of establishing risk factors, initial diagnostic methods and clinical assays to probe the efficacy of new therapies.
