Palmar, dermatoglyphics in essential hypertension.

M L Pursnani, G P Elhence, L Tibrewala

    Indian Heart Journal
    |March 1, 1989
    PubMed
    Summary

    Dermatoglyphic analysis revealed distinct differences in hypertensive individuals, including increased total finger ridge count and a decreased atd angle. The absence of axial triradi was exclusively observed in hypertensive cases.

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatoglyphics
    • Human genetics
    • Hypertension research

    Background:

    • Dermatoglyphics, the study of fingerprints, offers insights into genetic predispositions.
    • Hypertension is a complex condition with potential links to genetic markers.
    • Understanding dermatoglyphic variations may aid in identifying individuals at risk for hypertension.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate significant dermatoglyphic differences between hypertensive individuals and controls.
    • To determine if specific finger print patterns are associated with hypertension.
    • To explore the potential of dermatoglyphics as a non-invasive marker for hypertension.

    Main Methods:

    • Comparative analysis of dermatoglyphic features, including total finger ridge count, axial triradius presence/location, and atd angle.
    • Study included both male and female hypertensive cases and control groups.
    • Statistical comparison of dermatoglyphic parameters between the case and control groups.

    Main Results:

    • Hypertensive cases showed an increased total finger ridge count compared to controls.
    • A decreased frequency of specific axial triradi (t, t', t") was noted in hypertensive individuals.
    • The atd angle was significantly decreased in hypertensive subjects.
    • Absence of axial triradi in both palms was exclusively found in 10% of hypertensive cases, not in controls.

    Conclusions:

    • Dermatoglyphic patterns, such as ridge count, axial triradius variations, and atd angle, are significantly different in hypertensive individuals.
    • These findings suggest that dermatoglyphics could serve as a potential, easily assessable indicator for hypertension.
    • Further research is warranted to explore the clinical utility of dermatoglyphic analysis in hypertension screening.
