Abstract

Introduction: The word “Dermatoglyphics” indicates the study of epidermal configuration on palms, soles and finger tips. In early foetal life the differentiation of epidermal ridges takes place. These patterns do not change in an individual throughout life and no two patterns are alike. The dermatoglyphic patterns were studied in cardiovascular disorders, but there are very few dermatoglyphic studies in congenital heart diseases (CHD). Materials & Methods: The cross sectional study with comparison group was designed. Hundred patients of congenital heart diseases (CHD) i.e. CHD group and hundred patients without CHD i.e. control group were examined during study period. Dermatoglyphic prints were obtained by using standard protocol method and finger tip patterns i.e. Arches, whorls, radial loops and ulnar loops were studied. Results: Among the qualitative parameters, finger print patterns were studied and analysed. The percent frequency of arches, whorls and radial loops showed statistically insignificant difference in CHD group and control group. While percent frequency of ulnar loops showed statistically significant difference in CHD group and control group. Conclusion: Ulnar loops are most frequently found in dermatoglyphic pattern of finger tips in CHD group as compared to control group.
