- Abstract
Since the introduction of clotting factor concentrates, life expectancy of haemophilia patients is increasing and now approaches that of the general male population. Increasingly, haemophilia patients are confronted with age-related co-morbidity, including ischaemic cardiovascular disease. Treatment of stable angina pectoris and the acute coronary syndrome with antithrombotic therapy and percutaneous coronary intervention in haemophilia patients is feasible, but requires a tight co-operation between all specialists involved. As evidence-based guidelines are lacking, we developed a protocol on how we will treat haemophilia patients with ischaemic heart disease.
