A member asked:
Could people with bleeding disorders still have to worry about cholesterol?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Of course: The common known bleeding disorders -- hemophilia, von willebrand's, and the vasculopathies -- offer no protection from atherosclerosis. The "pop" idea that "cholesterol is bad because it makes your blood clot" is smplistic and to ignore atherosclerosis risk (a lot more than "cholesterol") is to invite disaster.
