It is suggested that some of the deleterious effects of elevated triglyceride on CHD may be mediated through its effects on the clotting and fibrinolytic mechanisms. (references)

Furthermore, elevated triglycerides produce increases in several clotting factors and decrease fibrinolytic activity which may contribute over time to the atherosclerotic process. (references)

Increased triglyceride levels are associated with increases in several coagulation factors (VIIc, VIIIc, and Xc) and altered fibrinolytic factors (increased PAI-1 and decreased tPA activity). (references)
