The most common kinds of heart disease are coronary, hereditary, hypertensive, inflammatory, ischaemic, pulmonary, and valvular. Cardiovascular disease is another related term that covers many seperate conditions.


Heart Disease Warning Signs on the Hands:

There are three main areas of the hands that can show warning signs of potential heart disease:
  1. Fingernails - The fingernails can take a white or even blue color, showing circulation problems. The "moons" at the base of the nails can become too large from over-action of the heart, or the "moons" can disappear entirely from weak action of the heart.

  2. Line of Heart - A clean and deep line of heart is optimum. Heart disease can be indicated when this line is very faint or poorly formed, or when the color changes to dark red or pale white.

  3. Mount of Venus - The base of the thumb can turn a blue color from poor action of the heart. The veins become more visible with this color change.

* Note: This information is not in any way meant to be used for diagnosis or treatment evaluations. Warning signs of heart disease should be examined by a qualified physician.
