Overview

There are no echocardiography findings associated with hemophilia. Ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis and follow-up of hemophilic arthropathy and in diagnosing massive intraabdominal bleeds. Findings on an ultrasound suggestive of hemophilic arthropathy inlcude soft-tissue changes, osteo-chondral changes, joint effusion, synovial hypertrophy, hemosiderin, and osteo-chondral abnormalities.

Echocardiography/Ultrasound

Echocardiography

There are no echocardiography findings associated with hemophilia.

Ultrasound

  • Ultrasound is substantially to highly reliable for assessing osteo-chondral changes with an intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) for specific joints given below:
