LDL accumulation is not a component of the Virchow triad.

The Virchow triad is a set of three factors that contribute to the development of blood clots. These factors include endothelial damage, blood stasis, and hypercoagulability. LDL accumulation is not a component of the Virchow triad, so if a patient believes it is, it indicates a need for more teaching on the topic.
