Q:
Can earlobes predict heart disease?
A:
Earlobes normally are smooth. However, if there’s a crease on the earlobe, it might indicate something wrong with the heart.
Earlobe creases are also called “Frank’s sign”. The presence of an earlobe crease suggests that there are changes in the blood vessels around the earlobes, while changes in blood vessels also happen in the presence of heart disease.
However, there are no clear explanations of the connection between earlobe creases and heart disease.
So, in conclusion, earlobe creases may be a sign of heart disease, but it’s not diagnostic. If you have an earlobe crease, it’s better to talk to your doctor about it.
