Dermatoglyphics In Congenital Heart Diseases In Children
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 9
Abstract
Dermatoglyphics is the scientific study of fingerprints, epidermal ridges and different patterns of epidermal ridges. Dermatoglyphs are the patterns or configurations of epidermal ridges on polar aspects of hand and feet. The present study aims to analyse the dermatoglyph in congenital heart diseases and compare them with that of normal controls. 100 children with congenital heart diseases were used as cases and 100 children without any history of cardiac illness were included in the study. Children having congenital heart diseases proven by clinical, ECG & 2D echo are included in the study. Children with deformities of hand are excluded from the study. Their dermatoglyphs analysed and discussed. Variations in the percentages of finger tip patterns, increased frequency of hypotenar patterns and wide atd angles are assosciated with certain forms of congenital heart diseases. This supports the view that some of the cardio vascular anamolies are genetically determined. So dermatglyph analysis may be used as a screening procedure for idenitifying congenital heart diseases.
