title: [Dermatoglyphic analysis of patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy].
abstract: Complete dermatoglyphic analysis of the hands in 69 men and 31 women with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy revealed only two significant abnormalities. In both sexes the total frequency of double loops on the fingers was increased (table 1) and the main palmar line had a more longitudinal course on the palm with its termination more frequently in area 3, less frequently in area 5 than in both compared controls (table 2). The differences are, however, not marked enough to use them in practice to screen affected individuals in families at risk. No differences were revealed in relation to the severity of the disease and the genealogical situation in the pedigree.
