Nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common age-related arrthymia and a leading cause of stroke in the elderly; with an aging hemophilia population, the number of patients developing AF is increasing. There are no controlled trials on thromboprophylaxis in this group of patients, only consensus opinion was based on small case reports. We present a female patient, carrier for hemophilia and with clinically moderately severe hemophilia who developed FA. We discuss the literature with respect to this group of patients and current recommendations for thromboprophylaxis.

Hemophilia A (HA) is an X-chromosome-linked recessive genetic disorder. Female carriers may have bleeding symptoms, but rarely have moderate or severe disease. We identified a female patient with moderate HA by pedigree tracking and genetic testing in a HA family involving consanguineous marriage.

The history of hemophilia is well-documented, yet reports focus heavily on the male-perspective and severe forms of the disease. Although hemophilia was initially believed to only affect men with women seen as silent carriers, it is now universally acknowledged that women and girls can also be affected. In this narrative review, we track the progression of beliefs about women and hemophilia as documented in the literature from pre-1800's to the present time.

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the activated partial thromboplastin time clot waveform analysis (APTT-CWA), which reflects clot formation. It was mainly studied in hemophilia and disseminated intravascular coagulation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of APTT-CWA in hemophilia carriers.

Background: Although hemophilia A mainly affects males, carriers (defined as females with hemophilia A, as well as symptomatic or asymptomatic hemophilia A carriers) are at risk of excessive bleeding, particularly during trauma or during surgical procedures. Clinical trials have focused on male patients with severe disease, and data for females are limited. Improved, evidence-based treatment guidelines for management of hemophilia A carriers are required.

Introduction: The needs of haemophilia carriers (HC) have been historically overlooked. It is now recognised that HC manifests bleeding symptoms, including haemarthrosis. The natural history of joint health in HC is not yet defined.
