title: Reduced water induced skin wrinkling in congestive heart failure.
abstract: Water immersion skin wrinkling (WISW) of the fingertips may reflect central autonomic function. We found lower WISW in 60 heart failure patients versus controls (1.6±0.67 vs. 2.5±1.1, p<0.001), linking a cardiovascular disorder to reduced WISW.
