Abstract

Objective: To study the association of Dermatoglyphics with Ischemic Heart Disease and it can be also helpful in identification of persons in court of law.

Study design: Descriptive study. 

Place and duration of study: Data was collected for the study which was conducted at Al-Ameen Medical College & Hospital, Bijapur, Karnataka from April 2017 to June 2017.

Materials and methods: Finger prints were collected from the subjects after obtaining their informed consent in the month of 1 April, 2017 to 15 June, 2017. A total of 100 IHD diagnosed patients were selected from the OPD of Al-Ameen Medical College & Hospital and data were analyzed. The finger prints of both the hands were recorded on a plain white paper with a stamp ink pad by rolling method and each finger print was assigned by their Name, Age, and Sex.

Results: A total of one hundred patients were selected for this study which were all known case of Coronary Heart disease patients. Out of these one hundred patients the majority of the patients were belonging to whorl pattern of finger prints i.e., 90 (57%) where as the number of patients belonging to Loop pattern was 40 (29%) pattern of Arch and composite was same i.e., 10 (7%) each, and so these various types of fingerprint patterns can be used for genetic correlation and screening.
