Abstract :

 

The association between traditional cardiovascular risk factors like obesity, age, male, sex, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, diabetes, smoking, alcohol consumption, family history of thrombosis and  risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) has not been extensively examined in previous studies. Cross–sectional, observational study was conducted to determine the association of cardiovascular risk factors in patients diagnosed with DVT in outpatient department. The study found  that most of the DVT patients had two or more cardiovascular risk factors. DVT was seen more commonly in males and older age group. Poorly controlled diabetes, poorly controlled hypertension, high BMI, low HDL cholesterol, high LDL cholesterol and smoking history were frequenly associated with DVT. Among the risk factors, most were modifiable, including obesity, hypertension, diabetes, smoking and dyslipidemia.
