A member asked:

Please let me know if there is any connection between lumps in the hand and heart disease?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not usually: Except for janeway lesions (http://en.Wikipedia.Org/wiki/janeway_lesion) - which is indicative of infective endocarditis (and these are very rare!), there's no association.
