For decades, earlobe creases have been a noted as a potential physical sign of heart disease. Earlobe creases, also known as Frank's Sign, have been studied and written about before. In this video, AJM Editor-in-Chief Joseph S. Alpert, MD, talks about new research linking earlobe creases as a potential predictor of cardiovascular disease. The authors of "Frank's Sign and Cardiovascular Risk: An Observational Study" found that the more heavily creased a person's ears are, the higher their cardiovascular disease risk is.
