The appearance of reddish seals on the skin may indicate an impending heart attack. This observation was made by specialists from the Florida Center for Dermatology and Skin Cancer.
Small, pea-sized nodules usually appear on the fingers and palms and are painful. After examining patients with such complaints, dermatologists often refer them to a cardiologist. The fact is that there may be a protracted infective endocarditis.
– Redness on the skin sometimes occurs due to inflammation of the endocardium, which increases the risk of a heart attack, – quotes doctors “Rossiyskaya Gazeta”. – Such nodules on the skin due to heart problems are rare, but are a proven symptom of infective endocarditis.
To prevent the occurrence of a dangerous pathology, cardiologists recommend adhering to proper nutrition and not forgetting about physical activity.
