| Sumario: | Objective: The coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most common cause of mortality and morbidity in developed countries. Since there is a relationship between dermatoglyphic pattern and some diseases, this study was done to investigate the relationship between dermatoglyphic pattern and myocardial infarction. Methods: This study was done on 900 patients with myocardial infarction referred to hospitals in Babol, Sari and Gorgan. Biopsy was done on 900 persons without myocardial infarction as a control group. After diagnosing of type and location of myocardial infarction, fingerprints were taken and an expert explained samples in details. Then obtained results were statistically analyzed by Chi-square and Z-test. Findings: The types of fingerprint were arch, loop and whorl in 7.2%, 46.8% and 46% of patients respectively. In contrast, in control group, they were 3.7%, 50.7% and 45.5% respectively. There was a significant difference between two groups in arch type. Also, there was an increase in arch type of fingerprint of left thumb, forefinger and ring finger (P<0.0001). Conclusion: According to the results, there was a significant relationship between arch types of fingerprint and the incidence of MI, especially in left thumb, forefinger and ring finger. Thus, a survey on dermatoglyphic pattern can be useful in early detection of persons who are susceptible to myocardial infarction particularly without risk factors of MI. |
