Study of Total Finger Ridge Count (TFRC) and ‘ATD’Angle in Patients of Coronary Artery Disease in Bidar
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Anatomy - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
Introduction: 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 etiology of coronary heart diseases is believed to be multi-factorial with genetics playing an important role. Objectives: 1) To study the finger and palmar dermatoglyphics pattern in Coronary Artery Disease (CAD). (2 ) To compare dermatoglyphic configurations of CAD with the controls.( 3)To find out whether a specific dermatoglyphic trait/ features exists in CAD patients and whether it is significant. 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). Quantitative analysis for TFRC and “ATD” angle was done. Results: There was low frequency in TFR (p>0.05) in CAD group compared control group. The atd angle (p<0.05) was more in CAD compared to Controls. Conclusion: 1. There was high percentage in total finger ridge count in CAD group when compared to controls. 2. There was high ‘atd’ angle in CAD group when compared to controls.
