Issuing from the question of the value of a prophylactic anticoagulation for the purpose of prevention of arteriosclerosis 25 patients with haemophilia were examined with the aim to detect possible connections between coagulation potential and arteriosclerosis taking into consideration factors of risk and age. Indeed, also in these patients who were "anticoagulated" from birth factors of risk and references to an existing arteriosclerosis were found. Correlation analyses, however, indicated tendencies, which suggest a protective influence of the hypocoagulability concerning factors of risk and arteriosclerosis.
