GRAPHOLOGIST Christina Strang is hoping to change the way heart conditions are diagnosed by analysing people's handwriting.

Mrs Strang, 53, of Grittenham near Malmesbury, has been studying handwriting since she was 18 and believes that it is a powerful tool for early diagnosis of certain conditions.

Mrs Strang, who runs CS Handwriting Analysis, has recorded results which she says indicate a link between certain handwriting styles and cardiac diseases.

She recently received huge media interest when she presented a paper on the subject at an international conference in Melbourne and has spent the past three years researching the link between handwriting and hearts.

Now Mrs Strang hopes that she can further her research and carry out a study on patients from within a Primary Care Trust in the UK.

She hopes that this would then help give graphology a real credibility within the medical profession.

She said: "I really need to get into a PCT to see if the writing traits are correlated with cardiac conditions.

"It would be ethical and controlled and to get the credibility it needs to be through a health care trust.

"There are a lot of sceptics out there. I just say to them show me a handwriting sample.That usually proves them wrong."

Anyone interested in the research should call Mrs Strang on (01666) 510809.
