Handwriting clue to heart disease

From The BBC: "A graphologist is conducting a study to find out whether handwriting can reveal the early signs of heart disease. Christina Strang, from Wiltshire, compared handwriting samples of 61 cardiac patients from Swindon with those of healthy people. Ms Strang says that when writing we rest the pen for milliseconds and these so-called "resting dots" could show possible heart malfunctions. Her research showed twice as many "resting dots" among the cardiac group. Ms Strang, 53, has worked analysing handwriting for 12 years and is based in Chippenham"
