Many general signs familiar to physicians can be found on the skin in cardiac patients. These include (a) cyanosis, central and peripheral, (b) erythremia, flushing and erythema, (c) digital clubbing and (d) alteration in texture. Specific cardiac conditions often have useful diagnostic cutaneous clues. Of these the association of coronary heart disease, hyperlipidemia and xanthomas is the most important. Rare syndromes such as the "leopard syndrome" often have distinctive skin signs. Multisystemic disorders may affect the heart and skin simultaneously or in sequence. They include collagen vascular diseases, amyloidosis, sarcoidosis and relapsing polychondritis. Finally iatrogenic disease arising from treatment of cardiac or cutaneous disease may induce changes in one or the other organ. The heart and the skin have much in common. These manifestations help elucidate the cause, evaluate the diagnosis, and follow the treatment and progress of these diseases.

The classical symptoms of malabsorption syndrome are diarrhea, steatorrhea, weight loss, and fatigue. Tetany, ecchymosis, anorexia, bone pain, pallor, muscle wasting, hyperpigmentation, apathy, digital clubbing, abdominal distention which contrasts in view of the reduced common statement are other signs of malabsorption. Long before the onset of these symptoms there may be a disinterest in regular daily activities often associated with the passage of three soft stools per day and with the remarkable sign of difficulties in flushing bulky stools. Anamnesia, clinical examination in connection with common laboratory findings, small intestinal x-rays and endoscopic investigations associated with biopsies of the small (and large) bowel as well as estimation of stool fat excretion, xylose- and Schilling-test allow the diagnosis in most of the cases.
