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
There are no echocardiography findings associated with hemophilia.
Ultrasound
- Ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis and follow-up of hemophilic arthropathy and in diagnosing massive intraabdominal bleeds
- Ultrasound is highly reliable for assessing soft-tissue changes with an intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) for specific joints given below:
- Ultrasound is substantially to highly reliable for assessing osteo-chondral changes with an intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) for specific joints given below:
- It is highly sensitive (> 92%) for assessing synovial hypertrophy and hemosiderin in both ankles and knees[1]
- It has borderline sensitivity for detecting small amounts of fluid in ankles (70%) in contrast to knees (93%)
- It has variable sensitivity for evaluating osteo-chondral abnormalities (86-100% for ankles and 12-100% for knees)
