Study of Palmar Dermatoglyphics in Patients of Coronary Artery Disease in Bidar (North Karnataka)
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Anatomy - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
Introduction: Dermatoglyphics is the scientific study of epidermal ridges and their configurations on the palmar region of hands and fingers. As a diagnostic aid, it is now well established in a number of diseases which have a strong hereditary basis. The aetiology of coronary heart diseases is believed to be multifactorial with genetics playing an important role. Objectives: 1. To study the finger and palmar dermatoglyphics pattern in Coronary Artery Disease(CAD) and its different groups 2. To establish sexual and digital differences in dermatoglyphic patterns of CAD 3.To compare dermatoglyphic configurations of CAD with the controls. Methodology: Inking method was used for taking finger and palm prints. The present study includes the dermatoglyphic patterns of CAD and that of Controls. It constitutes 100 CAD patients (60 males, 40 females) and 100 Controls (60 males, 40 females). Qualitative analysis of arches, loops, and whorls was done. Results: There was low frequency in arches and loops in CAD group (p>0.001) and high frequency in whorls (p>0.001) and TFRC (p>0.05) in CAD group compared control group Conclusion There was low percentage in arches in CAD group when compared to controls. There was low percentage in loops in CAD group when compared to controls. There was low percentage in whorls in CAD group when compared to controls.
