HDL/LDL also related to thrombosis (and another question)?

Posted By mariette on August 07, 1999 at 18:05:41
Dear Doctors,
I wrote earlier about thrombosis. I actually have 2 questions.
1.
Today there was something in the papers about a new discovery with respect to cholesterol. They now think that the "good cholesterol"  plays a very important role in vesselproblem.
Is it possible that a low cholesterol, and especially low HDL levels could play a role in thrombosis and strokes? If so, what could I do to improve levels?
2.
Given that fact that I have a clotting disorder, suffered 8 DVTs and PEs as well as 3 minor strokes, as well as coronary artery spasms, it is possible that this all leads to an increased risk for an MI?
Thanks, Mariette
