Abstract	Sara Rafi beschrijft verbanden tussen risicofactoren voor hart- en vaatziekten (HVZ) en bloedstolling. Uit calciumneerslag op de aortaboog blijkt dat patiënten met veneuze trombose een verhoogde kans hebben op HVZ. Ook schildklieraandoeningen en het gebruik van ontstekingsremmers en cholesterolverlagers worden in verband gebracht met veneuze trombose. Rafi belicht tevens het risico op HVZ bij patiënten met hemofilie. Hemofiliepatiënten zijn door hun levenslange tekort aan stollingsfactor VIII beschermd tegen HVZ. Toch komen risicofactoren voor HVZ en daardoor ook aderverkalking even vaak voor als bij gezonde mensen.
