Is it true that people with hemophilia are immune from heart attacks?

Since they're platelets don't stick, aren't thill immune from cholesterol narrowing and thus protected from heart attack?

Thats a damn good question. The answer seems to be that they aren't immune, but they have a much lower risk - 80% lower.

"Patients with hemophilia have a strongly reduced risk of myocardial infarction [heart attack] (80% reduction)"

Female carriers of hemophilia have a 25% reduction in risk.

EDIT: The above data is from an article in a scientific journal; it gives 2 studies and mortality data to support the above figures. Check the link below.

well, blood clots can cause heart attacks, so they don't have to worry about that, but they have plenty of other things to worry about. (like papercuts and nosebleeds, for example.)

some types of heart attacks where blood clots are to blame for. but not all heart attacks. Good question!

what causes most heart attacks is plaque - a build up of fatty deposits in the arteries - coronary artery disease, they would certainly be less likely to have a thrombosis though

No. Heat attacks are from the plaque build up on the arteriole wall. which narrows blood flow through the vessels. stoping the blood from going through. hemophiliacs cant stop bleeding.
