【 摘 要 】

There are several dermatological indicators associated with Coronary Artery Disease CAD, which contribute the early diagnosis the seriousness of coronary artery disease. It is these indicators Diagonal Earlobe Crease DELC, which showed some studies a relationship between them and coronary artery disease, but Iraqi population data are limited. Therefore included the study (100) Iraqi samples has been taken from patients with CAD and 50 without CAD. The results showed values cardiac risk factors, which included the age, Body Mass Index BMI, Hypertension, Diabetes, Hypercholesterolemia, Hypertriglycerimia. HDL, as it was increased significantly the patients with CAD compared to controls. Results showed prevalence of ELC and PAC was 64%, 73% respectively in those with CAD while the prevalence of ELC and PAC was 11%, 16 % respectively in those without CAD. Cases with DELC were increased prevalence significantly of both any, associated with coronary artery than those without DELC. The odds ratio for diagonal earlobe crease was 6.30, and for Preauricular crease was 5.74.
