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.
非瓣膜性心房颤动(AF)是一种常见的与年龄相关的心律失常,也是老年人中风的主要原因;随着血友病患者群体的老龄化,发生AF的患者数量正在增加。对于这组患者的血栓预防尚无对照试验,仅基于小病例报告形成了共识意见。我们报告一例女性血友病携带者,临床诊断为中度严重血友病,她发生了房颤。我们讨论了关于这组患者的文献以及当前的血栓预防建议。
