Results are expressed as median (range). *P<0.05, ***P<0.001 as compared to controls using Mann-Whitney test, $P<0.05 as compared to controls using Kruskal-Wallis followed by Dunn post hoc test. DVT=Deep vein thrombosis, CAD=Coronary artery disease, Hcy=Homocysteine, HDL=High density lipoprotein, LDL=Low density lipoprotein, VLDL=Very low density lipoprotein
