Abstract:
Dermatoglyphics is a scientific method of analyzing of ridge
patterns by studying finger and palmar prints, which are under genetic
control. Dermatoglyphics analysis has been established as a useful
diagnostic and research tool in genetics, medicine, and anthropology. The
etiology of coronary heart disease is believed to be multifactorial with
genetics playing an important role. Vndations in dermatoglyphics in such
patients are therefore, expected.
