Abstract :

Introduction: Plenty of study has been done on etiology of Ischaemic Heart diseases. Our effort is to note any Dermatoglyphic angle for predisposition of Myocardial Infarction patients. That�s why this study is undertaken. Material & Methods: This study is done on Dermatoglyphic Palm Prints of 200 Myocardial Infarction patients (130 male & 70 female). Study is compared with Dermatoglyphic Palm Prints of Normal persons(130 male & 70 female). Observations & Results: In female patients mean �ATD� angle on Right hand is 41.360 and on Left hand is 41.070. In male patients mean �ATD� angle on Right hand is 41.210 and on Left hand is 41.680 . Discussion & Summary: Myocardial infarction female patients have more frequency in 410 to 500 range and reduced frequency in 510 to 600 range in both the hands compared to the normal females. Myocardial infarction male patients have more frequency in 410 to 500 range and reduced frequency in 310 to 400 range in both the hands compared to the normal males. This indicates Dermatoglyphic study can be taken into consideration for prediagnosis of Myocardial Infarction Patients.
