Al-Marsad newspaper: Doctors confirmed that the condition of the fingers and hands warns of serious heart diseases. Doctorpiter.ru indicates that the hands help diagnose heart diseases.
spurs
The appearance of the bumps on the palms of the hands and fingertips should not be neglected and ignored, because it may indicate an infection with infective endocarditis, as a person with inflammation of the blood vessels and heart chambers suffers.
The bacteria that cause this disease reach through the bloodstream and stick to the weak areas of the heart, and in the absence of treatment cause damage to the heart valves, according to “Novosti”.
purple lines
Under the nails, purple or red streaks or spots may appear on the nails, and these are ignored by everyone.
The results of a study published in the Journal of Travel Medicine showed that these lines may indicate a pathological infection or heart disease, so self-treatment should be excluded, especially if these lines are accompanied by high body temperature and irregular heartbeat.
splinter hemorrhage
Canadian Dr. Gita Yadav, a dermatologist, added that splinter hemorrhages are a sign of a serious abnormality in the body. This is usually caused by small clots that damage the capillaries under the nails.
There are three reasons for its appearance: – Infection of the heart valves (endocarditis). Damage to blood vessels due to swollen blood vessels (vasculitis) Small clots that damage small capillaries (microbole).
Hippocratic fingers
There are symptoms of clubbing of the fingers called “Hippocratic fingers”, in which the ends of the fingers are swollen. This condition may indicate serious heart problems, because the body suffers from a chronic lack of oxygen.
The cause may be congenital heart disease, where the body redistributes oxygen due to its lack. So the peripheral tissues – on the fingers and toes – don’t get enough of it.
A very rare and dangerous disease that cannot be diagnosed immediately
Another serious disease is amyloidosis, which refers to soft, wax-like bumps that form as a result of a buildup of protein in the heart. This disease is very dangerous and requires immediate medical attention. Because according to Mayo Hospital experts, this disease prevents the heart stone from filling with blood between beats, which leads to reduced blood flow throughout the body and the appearance of waxy bumps on the arms.
The appearance of red or brown spots on the palms of the hands may indicate heart problems. These spots are called (Janway’s rash), of course, these spots may be painless and disappear on their own within a few days or weeks. However, it should not be ignored.
