Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary outcome is the plaque constitution in terms of intraplaque hemorrhage and plaque burden as measured with 3T MRI in both hemophilia patients and patients and controls | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary parameters are differences in endothelial wall function and plaque components (calcification, necrotic core) between the patient and control group. Furthermore, the relation between plaque composition and severity of haemophilia and traditional cardiovascular risk factors will be analysed. | — |
