Abstract:High factor VIII is the risk factor for venous thrombosis and coronary artery disease. Here we are presenting a case of coronary artery disease with high Factor VIII. Thrombophilia screening does not include screening of factor VIII. By this study we come to the conclusion that high factor VIII is one of the risk factor of thrombosis and should be considered as one of the test for screening patients with thrombosis.
